Depends on the workload. In games, Intel is still the leader (unless you're bottlenecked by the GPU in which case there's no difference). I expect this will change when game companies start optimizing for AMD CPUs, often games run faster when SMT is turned off. See for example: https://youtu.be/yqQ2X1y0jvw?t=892 https://youtu.be/yqQ2X1y0jvw?t=892 AMD is better in parallel workloads, like compression and especially Linux kernel compilation which takes advantage of the massive L3 cache.
