Thats right Havock it's an endless cycle but this year Intel is best. Wait for this it's better and is to be released in a month don't wait for AMDs next processor which is released in a years time.
In the end you can afford the Core 2 Duo's the most expensive model is 550-600 USD and it kills AMDs 1070 USD processor. Core 2 Duo's are something that people can afford sure not the best model but they are much cheaper than AMD and are better performers.
