I prefer AMD, because from what I've read trough the years I have the impression, they are generally more free software friendly, by providing technical information. I'm excluding the ATI and card division, although they provided information for that too except for the 3D rendering. For instance AMD is very helpful in the Coreboot project, the effort for free software BIOS. Intel on the other hand I hear are going completely in the opposite direction and invention lock-down mechanisms on BIOS level and does not contribute. Supporting AMD has another potential benefit - it prevents Intel from becoming a monopolist. My personal hardware buying guide has a weighting mechanism that has several components and compromises. 3D was generaly not mandatory before GNOME Shell.
