For some specific workloads. Many people in the Plex community will point to Quicksync as being superior for media encoding than anything that AMD offers.
The next couple of years will be interesting. If Intel can pull off 18a they will very likely retake the lead, however if 18a underwhelms Intel will be in real trouble. There is also the possibility that AMD chooses Intel as a fab in the future, which would feel a bit like when Sonic showed up on a Nintendo console (for some reason it just feels wrong).
I was going to say Quicksync. I just spec'd and bought a new server build and the igpus on a few year old Intel chips is hard to beat for price and tdp.
The quicksync preference seems mostly to be because up until the 7000 series, AMD didn't even include integrated graphics on their chips (meaning no video encoder) (barring the G variants).
