Like some of the early comments, I have being a loyal AMD customer until this year, when I bought a used laptop and a mobo/CPU with Intel.
Is 2016, but unfortunately some games, about half I think, are still monocore processes. So for those, you need all single core power you can get. I remember playing Crysis 1 to 3, and it was amazing that the first one utilized 2 cores, when the last one utilized all 8 cores from my FX 8350. But unfortunately not all games are like that.
Early this year I got a opportunity of buying a used Intel CPU/mobo/memory combo (i7 3770k), for a really good price from a friend, and it was a eye opener to see how some games jumped in performance.
For some time now I want to build a mini-ITX system, but cannot find a new mobo for a good price for this i7 3770k, so next year, if Zen is good enough, I plan to get a full AMD ITX mobo/VGA to be my new rig.

Here's my review and video of 'RIVE', a fast paced & beautiful action game and the last game from Two Tribes

I'm playing it in a weak AM1 APU (Athlon 5150) and it mostly maintain 30fps, so it is very light by modern standards. Using radeonsi driver with or without padoka PPA, the game run just fine.
The game is very cool, I cant remember hitting any bug, it is a excellent port.
But I am do not think it is very hard. People who say that never played Super Meat Boy or They Bleed Pixels.
Oh, and on a final note: you see this game Inafune? This was what we expected from a group of "veteran developers", that took 3 million bucks from people using pretty artwork and fond memories of a old game. Not buying your shit game after playing this masterpiece.

Linux is everywhere except for desktop computers, so in my head we won the war anyway.

The Witcher 2 work very well with mesa drivers. Performance is very good. Stable.
Spec Ops: The Line was crash happy and has low performance. Newer mesa drivers run it like TW2, though.
Bioshock Infinity still plays bad here, especially in open areas. Needs more driver work.
The good side is all of then are stable and recognize my XBone controller. I think only one Aspyr port I have (Super Meat Boy) work with it. Feral ports are fine.
The real downside of all these "porthouses" is that none of then give a crap about Surround Sound. Actually, very few ports have 5.1 sound (I'm looking at you Valve). I can remember now only Euro/American Truck Simulator and Counter Strike: Global Offensive.
