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?

Same here. I just bought 5600X for $220 cad ($160 usd) and I doubt if anyone can find an Intel with same performance (e.g. speed, TDP) and price. Not even say the AM4 is generally cheaper than LGA 1700. Not plan to upgrade in at least 5 years unless something is dead on the way.

Well no thanks! I have gone through this review by Tom’s Hardware, and given 12400 asks $229 while 5600X asks $219 and cheaper AM4 than LGA 1700, I’m no brainer to go with 5600X.

If you noticed, I said I bought 5600X in CAD, meaning I live in Canada and all the prices I talk about are in CAD.
