It seems Intel is better for pure gaming and AMD slighty worse but better with workload.
What do you recommend if I only wanted to game?
What gaming are you trying to do? I've used intel and amd varying over the years, and I have had 0 issues running either of them. Intel runs far hotter.
I honestly feel that amd directly compares to intel (or out performs) for gaming, at a fraction of the cost and heat footprint. As well as longer support for a socket type (like you mentioned in OP).
I'd recommend spending the extra money you'd spend on an intel mobo/CPU (the motherboards for intel are also more money) on a better GPU.. That will be the bigger difference.
