[GENERAL RULE AND THUMB]
Intel sways more for multimedia apps where nvidia sways more for gaming.

HOWEVER THERE ARE ALWAYS EXCEPTIONS TO EVERY RULE!

They are always so close in both departments that it really doesn't matter IMO. Just know that the multi core chips for both AMD and Intel perform GOOD in their respective chipsets!

I found this link,(http://www.smartratings.com/computers/processors), that has a list of various chipsets. I discovered there are reviews aggregated for each item. I think it's good for you to check them out.
