A lot of libs are less tuned for AMD than for Intel. So even if your AMD processor is in theory faster, it may not work that way in practice. E.g. anaconda comes with the MKL linear algebra library that’s written by intel and tuned for their CPUs.

That’s true for AMD GPUs, but not such a problem for AMD CPUs (although I’d still stick with Intel if possible).
