There really is no answer, Intel will always have some advantages over AMD and vise-versa. Get the one that seems best according to what you are going to do with that computer (gaming, work, 3D design, etc). As for right now though, I would recommend Intel processors. No point pledging your full allegiance to a brand if it's not as good as it's competitor. The processor technologies are continuously changing. Get the best, inside your budget, that is.
