Depends on what you are looking for. Currently Intel leads in processing speed, but with price drops happening rapidly, AMD is leading in price to performance ratio. Pretty much all games today are going to be more dependent on your video card, hard drives, and memory than they are on your processor.
I personally pick AMD because I use 64 bit as much as possible.

Analogy :
What's better ... Pontiac or Chevrolet ?
What's the difference between the two ?
The logic displayed by some people is that since Chevrolet (Intel) makes the fastest car (the Corvette) it must be better than Pontiac (AMD) ..... total nonsense.
Unless you are shopping for the fastest desktop CPU on the market ( which Intel happens to make ..."right now" ) there is no compelling reason to buy Intel over AMD.
I own both & support PCs with both in a business environment.
They are equally reliable.... I've yet to encounter issues with either one that are indigenous to the brand.
Best advice I can offer is to look at the whole package.
Any PC with an AMD 4600+ or an Intel E6400 or higher (these 2 CPUs are pretty much neck in neck) will likely provide you with more power than you need....as well as give you years of trouble free performance.
I have a strong personal preference for AMD because it gives much more for the money,
I challenge anyone to provide "reliable" (not forum chit chat) documentation that proves that AMD has compatability issues with any mainstrean software.
Many Fortune 500 companies use both processors in their workstations & servers. They would not invest in inferior products.

I prefer AMD. AS for the best gaming processor you need a couple of things. 1st I would say get an AMD 64x2 processor with a very good video card. Your video card is a VERY important part of the gaming equation. Also make sure you have at least 1GB of RAM.

Intel makes the best processor
AMD processors were said to be the best for gaiming
but now a days the core2duo processor of intel is the best
buy a 256 mb graphic card of nvidia or geforce and enjoy the pleasure of gaiming

AMD is renowned for making better gaming CPUs
but intel are overall faster
The most important thing is the graphics card
