AMD and Intel both have good CPU offerings. Both have a turbo feature to imp= rove single core workloads. The real question is which video card do you want to use? Both have integrat= ed solutions now or you could pick a discrete card. I personally go amd but b= uy nvidia cards as there are binary drivers. Amd's newer cards are not suppo= rted by x11 well under bsd. If you go with an on CPU gpu (APU) this is an in= tel only scenario.=20 Amd chips are cheaper but you need a video card too.=20=
