AMD vs. Intel

Someone give me the info! Throw me a bone!

My Desktop is an i7-4930K @ 3.4 with an ASUS P9X79 Mother board and 32GB of DDR3 RAM and a GeFORCE GTX 1060 3GB video card. It is now 5.5 Years old....

Looking to upgrade the whole shebang. This machine will probably move home to our office as a PC. It is still a strong machine...but....

Looking to rebuild. I may keep the Video Card. While not the TOP it is a respectable card.

AMD vs. Intel. For similar money, about $500 I can go with an intel i9-9900K, which is a screamer of a processor. For similar money I can get a Ryzen 9 3900X.

Tom's Hardware had a good this vs. that. Intel is better for single thread, AMD better if the program is optimized for multi-core.

Anyone have real world experience? I've used AMD products with success in the past.
