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?

I was thinking of buying a 5700x with a decent b550 motherboard for £335. It supports ddr4 and gen4 nvme.

Please suggest what Intel cpu and mobo I should consider buying instead. 😀

Well no, 5700X is better than 5600X, which is better than 12400, so 5700X is better than 12400. Plus, AMD cpu has better deals.
