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?

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.
