Intel is supposed to release their new gen of low power (U series) chips in the next month or two, if you can wait a bit, id suggest you do so because the current gen will certainly be on sale for the occasion. But I think the AMD chip will use less power under real life scenarios, while the Intel chip will likely be a little bit faster. Since the AMD is basically 70% of the price of the intel model, I would say save your money and go for AMD.
Intel's "core 100 series" (or whatever they call it) U tier chips are already out, and in the T14 gen 5. The cheaper E series are probably a bit delayed in getting released.
NVM just looked it up, the E14 gen 6 is already out.
yeah looking at other comments I decided to go with AMD
