content: I was an Intel user. Went for the brand known for power. Did a minor upgrade on my pc.  Went with AMD  to save money since this was an older system. On paper Intel might be faster but I honestly can't tell the difference. Especially with these last two or three generations the jump in performance hasn't been like it was in the past. Seems silly to me now to opt fo the high end chips or fuss with overclocking unless you're after bragging rights of some sort.  I think I'm set for at least another 3  and possibly even more.
