>>Just curious, as I’m looking to upgrade the processor that I bought - are AMD processors widely known as being better than Intel?
Basically AMD did a full redesign of their processors when they introduced their Ryzen CPU line. That and Intel's problems in manufacturing has resulted in AMD chips beating Intel on price, performance, and temperature.
AMD's high end desktop chips literally perform better than Intel's top commercial Xenon.

AMD also uses less socket types than Intel and it will be possible to upgrade CPUs easily in the future. This upgradability is also something what laptops don't offer nowadays, requiring users to buy a whole new laptop every time.
