I would lean to AMD. More cores, but Intel still reigns as a single thread
computation king. But multi threaded, AMD it's in top with more cores. That's
why the new i-5 have went up from 4 to 6 cores. I-7's are the same. Intel is
playing catch up and AMD is cheaper per core.

I am starting to put together my design for a new PC and have not been as
immersed in the hardware world as I used to be and would like to get your
thoughts on it.
* As for motherboard I will probably go ASUS or MSI but if anyone has some
strong recommendations I would love to hear them.
* AMD or Intel. I have heard a few things regarding AMD's new 7 nanometer
from Stephen. Is it really more powerful and cooler?
* Nvidia or AMD? For the last 15+ years I have only purchased Nvidia, has
AMD improved significantly enough? Is it worth dropping 1000+ on a new video
card or is AMD close enough?
Thanks!
