Are there still software features exclusive to Intel's chips? I remember my dabble in Android Studio was painful, since the 'simulated device' functionality was only available on Intel, while I had some FX-8??? AMD chip.
I'm not in the market for a new gaming PC quite yet, but it's also going to be a personal workstation, so I don't want to deal with anything like above if it can be helped.

The Vision D looks so clean and well-featured By the time I get around to actually building it, there may be some similarly-styled mini-ITX AM4 motherboards, so not all hope is lost.
