ELI5 AMD vs Intel. What's the difference? Why do gamers prefer Intel if it's the same GHz.

Thanks for answering.

clock rate doesn't give the full picture of the performance think of it like the gas mileage of a car. Intel makes cars(processors) with higher mileage or in other words they are more efficient then AMD processors. You can have an Intel processor that's clocked lower than an equivalent AMD processor and still have it outperform or be on par the AMD processor because Intel's architecture designs get more work done per clock cycle.

On top of that Intel cpu's are known on avg for being much better at single threaded work than AMD's cpu's and Intel has hyper threading which allows one physical core to act like 2 logical cores further increasing performance whereas AMD really doesn't have an equivalent to hyper threading.

As a result Intel cpu's are usually more expensive then AMD's though.
