Which CPU is Better? Intel or AMD

Intel vs AMD - The fight rages on!

​To put this simply.  Both companies make high end CPUs, mid range CPUs and budget friendly CPUs.  This doesn't mean that the lower cost CPUs are bad.  They are slower or have less CPU cores and threads.

I like to compare computers and CPUs in terms of cars. 

1. The lower end CPUs are like driving a small Chevy or Honda passenger car.  These cars can be pretty fast and will do what you want them to do.  Good gas mileage and have lots of cool features, as well as costing about 15  to 20 thousand dollars.  The CPUs are the AMD dual cores Sempron and Athlon Series, A4 and A6 series. For Intel you have Celeron and Pentium line of CPUs  These CPUs are all under a under 100.00 to as low as 25.00
2. The mid range CPUs are like your Ford Mustangs, Dodge Challengers, and Chevy Camaro. These are fast and have great performance and only cost about 20 to 40 thousand more a less.  Comparable CPUs would be Quad Core Athlons, A8 to A10 Series, FX-Series Quad and Six Core, CPU,  Intel's midrange CPUs would be Core i3 and i5 CPUs  These CPUs can cost about 75.00 to 250.00
3. High End CPUs would be compared to performance cars, such as a Corvette, Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini, etc. Super fast and great performance. Cost around 100 thousand to half a million.  These CPUs would be Core i7s and AMD 8 core CPUs, or the Ryzen CPUs.  These CPU can cost anywhere from 150.00 to 1000 dollars.

Intel makes the majority of the fastest CPUs, but AMD has a few CPUs that are just as fast or faster in some programs and applications. 

So...​The winner is?

To be honest with you, i like have always like the AMD CPU because they are extremely budget friendly for building gaming systems. 
Intel might be faster, but most of time you will need another computer to test benchmark performance to actually see a difference in performance.

Lets go back to that car comparison.  buying the high end car is nice to have the ability to drive 220 miles per hour, However most of the time we will barely need go faster than 90 mile per hour in the Honda or Chevy.
