Both run great, Intel runs hotter but has more cores so it can do a lot of multithreaded tasks faster.
AMD has the best watt for watt efficiency in gaming due to excessive cache in the x3d series. Something like 60W in gaming beating 150W+ is kind of amazing. If you don't have a beefy cooler or PSU you can save money going with AMD
Below the top end honestly both can be good, Intel is very cost competitive and offers a combination of good gaming perf and multi-core performance. But I do love AMD's long term support for their platform. AM4 was pretty amazing, I could upgrade my 3600 to a 5800x3d and double my FPS in RTS games.
If it's not too much work, look at what motherboards you would go with and see if that affects your decision.
Thanks! Yeah, the LTS options is very attractive. If a can find a motherboard I am happy with, I would prefer not to have to replace it when I upgrade CPU the next time.
