yup not only has AMD improved massively with the Ryzen cpu's, but Intel has fallen on its face with it's last few generations of cpu's.
for the moment, AMD is the way to go if building a new pc. sure Intel fanboys will spout off a bunch of acronyms and cherry picked benchmarks to defend their beloved, but best bang for the buck at the moment is AMD. i'd not even look at intel until they get their act together.
