Which brand is typically better at certain tasks?

Hopefully (oh lord.. can of worms here!) this can be a sensible discussion on the tasks that AMD and Intel are each typically better at performing.

I will pretty much always recommend Intel at the moment if someone has the money, but that got me thinking. Surely there are tasks that AMD is good at, and Intel likewise. What are they, and why?

Have to admit, I genuinely didn't expect that response of Intel dominate everything. I was surprised at the mention of Intel being better with integrated graphics though.

Interesting to see Broadwell doing significantly better than it's other iGPU's, even skylake. I wonder if that changes when discrete cards are used?

Not at all attempting to defend here when I ask this, but what is the price of Broadwell compared to 7870k for example? (The latest AMD APU).

Really appreciate the info btw, I never knew that Intel were catching up in this area.

I wouldn't buy an AMD CPU again

That is not what this thread is for, please stay on topic

Ok, well it is a resounding Intel is better at everything (price withstanding).

Would be interesting to see what happens to these opinions and performance when money comes into the equation, as that seems to be the only way they can compete ... or is it?
