The year is 2018: Ryzen & Ryzen 2 are released which are obviously the better choice, for a CPU budget upto ~$300, but this matter is widely discussed, so I'll just bring up the main factors, why AMD is the better choice:
1. All Ryzen & Ryzen 2 processors are overclockable.
2. The performance of Ryzen processors are better than Intels counter parts,
3. while being available at a lower price point!
4. AMD's said that the current AM4 socket will be held upon to 2020/22, all while having backwards compatibility for their Ryzen Chipsets. Meaning you won't have to upgrade you mobo every generation.

InkyBuisnessIt's better for workstation loads and synthetics, but gaming wise the i7-8700k is beating the overclocked 2700x at stock clocks.

InkyBuisnessCheaper, yes. Better, no. Ryzen 2700x has 2 more cores than the comparable 8700k but each core is a lower clock speed and since most games can't use more than 4 cores at the maximum. While I would agree that ryzen is a better price to performance CPU than intel, it is not better period, given infinite money intel still comes out on top for gaming my a non-insignificant amount
