ELI5: How are Quad-Core Intel processors better than Hexa/Octa-core AMD processors?

I'm a heavy gamer, and when first buying my PC, I was going to go with AMD (higher cores, much higher gHz.) Yet my friends told me to go with Intel processors because they are better. I still don't get how AMD processors have more cores, more gHz, yet remain at a lower price and have less power than a high end Intel processor?

The frequency (GHz) doesn't tell the whole story, because one processor might be able to accomplish more each cycle than another one, so you can't compare based on that number alone.  The number of cores doesn't tell the whole story because (a) four fast cores might outpace six slow cores and (b) many programs (including/especially games) are not well designed to take advantage of multiple cores. 

Think about multiple cores as having four grills and you're trying to grill a steak.  It won't make the process any faster. If you were trying to grill 32 steaks, then yeah, you could do it 4X faster by using all of the grills... but most games are like cooking 1 (or 2) steak(s) and won't get any faster by having more grills.
