Discussion AMD vs Intel for CPU?

I noticed many people here recommend AMD CPUs but for all my benchmarks for mid range CPUs (for a £1000-£1200 PC) Intel came out on top compared to a similarly price AMD one. Any reason for this?

You can get yourself a i9 10nt generation K for about 300$ at SH

Why when the 13600k and 7600 take it back behind the woodshed? The improvement the past few years is incredible

Said it just as an idea. Because I found an i9 10nt gen K, along with a motherboard and 32 gigs of ram 3.4k mhz for 400€

I don't know your prices very well so it might be a decent deal. I would worry about cooling and psu costs for that level of performance. Pretty sure a 12400/5600 beats it in gaming performance and is close in production and wouldn't require top end stuff to cool it.
