TL;DR: Intel is still faster for single-threaded tasks, but the AMD with all its cores and threads demolishes on parallel work loads. It doesn't lag far behind

TL;DR: Intel is still faster for single-threaded tasks, but the AMD with all its cores and threads demolishes on parallel work loads. It doesn't lag far behind on single threaded performance either, so overall it's a big winner unless your application is stubbornly dependent on single threaded performance.
