I am honestly conflicted.

Pro AMD:
Cheaper $310 and includes HS (vs. $380 for Intel no HS)
8/16 core/thread (vs. 6/12 for Intel)

Pro Intel:
Better AVX
More PCIe lanes

My heart tells me to go with AMD, to support competition and to try something new. But my head says to go with intel, since we often crunch projects where AVX really helps.

Help!
