AMD and Intel both have good CPU offerings. Both have a turbo feature to improve single core workloads. The real question is which video card do you want to use? Both have integrated solutions now or you could pick a discrete card. I personally go amd but buy nvidia cards as there are binary drivers. Amd's newer cards are not supported by x11 well under bsd. If you go with an on CPU gpu (APU) this is an intel only scenario. Amd chips are cheaper but you need a video card too.help
