Never used AMD before.
However, I have to go with Intel as most of the people use it out there

Also, they are pretty good with most of the games in the market.
AMD is only good for gamers who are addicted to games and want a PC only to play games. The Fps of AMD is far better than Intel but you can't have anything running in the background in AMD's case unlike Intel.
