input on CPU choice on new PC build
I know there are threads that address this in some measure but I am building a new pc for the office and I am trying to choose between AMD and Intel for CPU.
I was planning on using this LINK but came across this LINK AMD chip on sale. It looks like a beast and for a great price........ but I would have to buy a graphics card. What do you think? Is a beast like the AMD preferred?
I am planning a M.2 SSD drive as well as 16gb of Ram. I am going to buy tomorrow and then saw this sale......not sure which direction to go.

CPU benchmarks => https://browser.geekbench.com/processor-benchmarks shows Intel having 46 models that are faster than the fastest AMD Ryzen.
AMD Ryzen 7 2700X has a benchmark of 4821 that is 22 % slower than 6167 for an Intel Core i7-8086K so a computation task of 10 minutes on the Intel Core i7-8086K takes 12.8 minutes on the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X

A fairer comparison is Ryzen 7 2700X 3.7 GHz (4820) vs i7-8700K 3.7 GHz (5881); about 18% difference. The 2700X is the successor to the 1800X; which is why the 1800X would be discounted.

What ever your decision, never buy Celeron - it will bottle neck.
AMD was always better with mathematical processing on lower power consumption. I don't know about the new Ryzen though. I used AMD in the past for programming purposes.
Intel is better if you don't have a dedicated Graphics Card and don't mind about power consumption. In the past Intel was always more stable.
As a user that used both AMD and Intel, I would recommend going with Intel. The new Ryzen could maybe be competition. I ask myself one question, why the $130 discount on Ryzen. This always display a huge red flag. But then, who knows?
This is not true. At least “was always better” wasn’t true. What’s the time period you’re talking about?
Notable factors:
Recent advance in 10 nm process in AMD CPU makes it having better power consumption, but this isn’t true until very recently, like a year ago. In fact, AMD was pressing towards 7 nm because they were trying to catch up with Intel in 2018 IIRC. But unfortunately Intel’s 10 nm process, supposed to be out a lot earlier, then on 2018, was further delayed to 2019. (People define the nm processes differently, Intel’s 10 nm is more like AMD/Samsung/Qualcomm’s 7 nm.)
Since you’re talking about “mathematical processing”, these are relevant too:
