AMD is competitive in perf/core now. Intel has been largely stagnant since Skylake, while AMD has been improving dramatically, starting with Zen in 2017. That being said, your organization's problem isn't AMD vs Intel, your problem is Oracle. If your org spent the money you currently spend on Oracle licenses on a bestial monstrosity of a I AM BECOME DEATH DESTROYER OF WORLDS machine running postgres you'd have better performance. Regardless of whether it's AMD or Intel. (although you're probably better off with AMD) I know it's not that simple. Just sayin'. Making sure HN meets its daily Oracle hate quota. Seriously though, Oracle sucks.
