The real question is which video card do you want to use? Both have integrated
solutions now or you could pick a discrete card. I personally go amd but buy
nvidia cards as there are binary drivers. Amd's newer cards are not supported
by x11 well under bsd. If you go with an on CPU gpu (APU) this is an intel only
scenario.
Amd chips are cheaper but you need a video card too.

The Core i5 processors cost more (sometimes a lot more), but dominate
