First thing everybody has to learn about computers: Don't get attached to a brand/company.
2015 the core i7 gave me the most performance for my money. Last year it was the 7800x3D.
I had mostly AMD GPUs, but last year I got a 4700 because it's power consumption was unbeatable for the performance it has.
Always buy the best stuff you can get for your money, don't give a fuck about the companies.
Yes. Look at cost-benefit-ratios.
For my requirements it has mainly been AMD in the past (and ATI when it still existed), because usually, intel and Nvidia charge you much more money and don't really delivered that much more benefits for what I was looking for. They charge more, because they can, as they are dominating their respective markets.
However, there might sometimes be factors which would still lead to a higher benefit compared to AMD. All depends on your requirements and how much you would benefit by the respective device.
