Normally, Intel had a strong lead in terms of CPUs. However, Intel is failing to do so with the rise of AMD Ryzen. I decided to buy an AMD chipset motherboards due to affordability with more function (streaming, more cores, etc.) Although Ryzen series still lags behind in terms of memory processing, Intel isn't doing well ithe its CPU core management. I don't know what to choose. I need to game, stream, do intense programming, with extended reliability. But Intel chipsets are pricey, and I doubt the qualities of both Intel and AMD. The Intel Motherboards are well-rated , but as I said earlier, it's the quality of the the CPU is lagging behind (even the MBs are more pricey). AMD, on the other hand, is getting better, but the m-atx motherboards aren't well-rated. I don't know what to choose.
