The Intel's single thread performance is much stronger than that of AMD's CPU's. Even overclocked, they can't match the performance. Not only that, they are more power efficient and there are more upgrade options. They aren't really cheaper if you consider you will need a decent motherboard to overclock and a cooler. A cheap i3 dual core will play most games better than even the 6 and 8 core AMD's.

At mostly all times Intel is better for gaming.
AMD processors have many weak cores that tend to perform bad in games whereas Intel has less strong cores that perform well.
