From the little I know, AMD seems to be fighting harder to pick up market share than Intel. They seem to have great chips at lower prices.
I've always had Intel chips, partly by inertia and because of poor AMD support from PC vendors. However, from everything I read,current AMD chips are simply better and support is better, so my next laptop…
It depends...
For laptops, I like Intel, I believe they have better power-saving techniques so you can have better battery life. I heard AMD is catching up to Intel but about two years ago, Apple dropped…
Intel, just because the history of reliability with AMD has not been great, even though I think that is changing, and the newer AMD are pretty good

For laptops, I like Intel, I believe they have better power-saving techniques so you can have better battery life. I heard AMD is catching up to Intel but about two years ago, Apple dropped a bombshell in the industry with their M1 processor that used a fraction of the power with similar performance to what Intel and AMD had. I heard Intel is trying to put similar technologies into their CPUs. I guess we will see what happens. Currently, all the laptops I have in my inventory is 95% Intel, 4% AMD, and 3 Intel-based Apple MacBook Airs & Pro. I prefer having the same so drivers will be similar.
For general-use desktops, it doesn't matter for Intel or AMD. Our organization does not have many desktops, I guess about 8% of our computers are desktops. The only time I would go AMD hands-down for a desktop would be a performance-oriented computer system like our video workstation.
On the server front, I really like the AMD Epyc processors, they are lower power and have more cores compared to a similarly priced Intel Xeon CPU. My last two server purchases have been AMD CPUs.
Funny I was just having this conversation with some friends within the last couple of months because I was looking into getting a new computer. I am still learning between both but I ended up getting a computer with an AMD chip and I am really liking it so far and seems to be performing well. From what i hear they are both pretty comparable
