I can't decide whether to use an intel or amd cpu when i build a computer. Which one is faster and more price efficient

I hate to be so bluntly honest, but this is not even a contest. If you look at the Intel specs and performance against the AMD, Intel is clearly the top dog. AMD just can't measure up to the Intel speed and technology.

I forgot to give you the comparison link from Tom's Hardware:

Intel will be slightly higher, but if you want performance, that is where you will go.
