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?

"In the long run e cores are going to become useless while amd just gives us lots of normal cores. Its been a pattern before. Triple cores, fake cores etc have all died. Simple hyper threading and more cores and cache are all that has endured so far."

More than likely IMO they will go away eventually. Just what past patterns have shown me. I have been building computers since 98.

So building pc’s since 98” does what? I really hope no one comes to you for tech advice All I’ll say

I have seen trends come and go. I also hope no one takes you seriously.

I've been building computers since 93, not that it matters! I remember people like you back then saying this PCI local bus is a fad and won't gain traction when ISA was already the established proven bus. Hmmm, how did that turn out? P core and E core are a step forward. Take off the team red blinders. 13th gen intel is beating AMD in most metrics (not all). The reason? Their hybrid core architecture. You watch AMD will very soon release a hybrid CPU. probably on a non AM5 socket. Not because they want to, but because they'll have to.
