You probably can have a better AMD setup. Just look at things they brag about [1] - our newest 24-core machine is UP TO 4x faster than 8-core Intel from I don't know how many years ago. I have no idea about actual performance but it doesn't look great, especially given that they are running software for which these chips were specifically optimized.
I currently use macos, the software is tolerable, but when I need some serious computation power the server is running Linux. You can have more cores, you can have more memory, what else do you need?

- dathinab 3y agoif you go with an AMD Zen 4 Epyc server unit you still only get 12 "CPU memory channels" with M2 Ultra (or M1 Ultra) the equivalent of 16 "CPU memory channels" don't matter for many applications but for some and the it's a server unit you are buying not a prosumer desktop (with a ryzen CPU you get 2 channels, threadripper 4 channels and 8 with a threadripper pro)
