Intel or AMD? Whether you are a player or not, the performances are close. But depending on your use of your computer, the question arises, and your choice will be towards one or the other.
On a fixed pc, no worries, the processor can be changed and your computer can evolve.
On a laptop, things get complicated, on the old models we could change it a little while ago, now it's soldered to the motherboard, so you have to make the right choice from the start.
