Yeah. Depends on what you are aiming to achieve within a set budget.
If you have a $1,000 budget and you want to game at 1440P/4k, then AMD is the absolute best option on the market, saving some cash on the CPU/Motherboard side of the equation allows you to invest more in the GPU which will give you the largest performance improvement.
If you are into eSports/MMO and only wish to do 1080P-1440P and prioritize framerates, then sacrificing a little bit of GPU performance and investing in an Intel rig is probably your best best.
Then you have people who might only upgrade once a decade, more cores tends to age that little better over the long term... And AMD's multi-threaded capabilities far exceeds Intel right now at every single price point.
