I would say that the only time you need to worry about the differences between Intel and AMD is when you program or do other maths intensive things like using engineering software. This is particularly true for the old AMDs. Intel rules in that field as it is more stable and built to support that kind of thing.

For gaming however, I prefer AMD simply because you get the same umph for a lot less price and not only that, you get integrated graphics that compete with Nvidia cards. Also if you know what you can turn off or reduce in the graphics settings that are not actually visible to the human eye, you can save your self a lot of pain.
