Neither, x86 is a horrific architecture.

Okay! What CPU chip do you recommend?

ARM seems to be gaining traction and has some cool bits. RISC-V is neat for being open, though it's fairly MIPS-like. (And of course POWER and SPARC have been around for a while)

Unless you're crazy like me, you should probably stick to x86 for at least another few years though.
