New processor

[lien1454]

I'm in the market to upgrade my PC and wondering which processor is the best ?
I'm wanting to get which ever is the best performance wise. I've held off because I was considering the new Intel processors until the issues with processors burning up was discovered.
I'm wondering what is the better processor at the moment. Intel or AMD?
I'm looking for a processor that is going to be a good all round performer?

I am just going to focus on the processor for now.
I'm looking for the best one there is hoping to snag a black friday deal.
Are the Intel cpus fixed now with the chip code or if that enforced at motherboard bios level ?

I'll be using the processor for everything. I'd like a powerhouse good for all applications.
