I personally lean towards intel, not just because it’s better but because my grandfather has been involved in the company in the past. But what are your guy’s preferred brand?
I have always used intel, even way back since Windows XP. I am not opposed to using AMD though, I'm more concerned with the performance I am getting per dollar. As far as I know, AMD is just as stable now as intel, but on PlayStation which uses AMD I have occasionally experienced issues like crashing or completely freezing up on the home screen. Not sure if this has anything to do with AMD though.
