I disagree. It's all dependent on use case, but as a sysadmin I have seen real world use cases where people are doing multiple things at once and one bottlenecked program on an intel will slow the system to a halt whereas the AMD will keep chugging on the rest of the multitasking going on, and that's a very real benefit. For example, how many people these days actuall just run with one monitor and do just one thing at a time? I certainly don't, and for example, on my i7 laptop, if I have firefox up on the second monitor and play cs-go, I get 20fps less. That never happened on my AMD FX system... In essence what I am saying is parallel workloads are becoming the norm, and thats why I'm betting on AMD in the long run. The world where everything is single-threaded is quickly shrinking, and the world where people only do one thing is as well. For example, lots of game engines traditionally had this problem, but they are getting better and better and multi-threading for perf gains.
