By a pretty small margin compared to equivalent Intel CPUs from what I've seen[1]. And the ryzen chips are a whole lot cheaper and beat Intel for parallel tasks. I'm about to buy a beefy machine for FPGA development, I'm definitely considering AMD. Seems like I'd get better performance for a much lower price. I'm still waiting for more in-depth reviews though.
