I decide every upgrade which one to go with. Try not to stay dedicated to one.
Basically - Buy Intel cause it's the best last I checked... Oh, that was two years ago, now AMD should have been the right one.
Next upgrade, won't make that mistake - buy AMD. Shit... AMD is garbage this gen, shoulda gotten Intel. Ok, I'll know better next upgrade.
Repeat forever.
TBF, AMD has been pretty rock-solid for CPUs for the last 5-6 years. Intel... not so much.
My last two computers have been AMD, the last time I built an Intel system was ~2016
