What to choose for virtualization of Intel vs AMD (haper-v/virtual box) windows machines?

Question

Virtualization

It is necessary to deploy an environment of 10 virtual machines on different versions of WIndows with different roles.
On average, one virtual machine requires 2 processors and 2-3 GB of RAM.
We decided to stop at a 2-computer configuration. That is, buy 2 computers and run 5 virtual machines on each.
We select hardware and the question arose of what to take:
Ryzen 7 (8/16) with built-in video + 32 GB of RAM + 3 SSDs in Raid 5 for machines + ssd for the
intel i5 system (6/12) + 32 GB of RAM + 3 SSDs in Raid 5 for machines + ssd for the system
The budget is in favor of Ryzen by 15-20%
As a hypervisor there will be either Haper-v or Windows Server.
Perhaps in the future it will be necessary to forward video cards or other pci-e devices to virtual machines
. Have there been any problems with virtualization on AMD

Answer 1

It is easier to immediately buy a server platform

Answer 2

Must not be. I would even say that AMD is better suited for this.

Answer 3

Take EPYC or Threadripper and preferably with ECC memory - more stability, less chance of failure. The more memory, the greater the chance of error. Do not save on memory - Windows with a large amount of memory works noticeably faster than with constant swapping, even with an SSD.
SSD - at least Samsung 970 PRO M2, and better enterprise solutions from the same Samsung or Intel. It makes sense to put in a raid only in a mirror for reliability, but still, an enterprise plus a regular backup rule and looks more reasonable. Dedicating a separate SSD for the system does not make much sense. If you also want file storage, you can use FreeNAS - earlier it was easy to put VirtualBox in jail right out of the box, as it is now - you don’t know. It out of the box supports dual caching in RAM / SSD and a bunch of other cool features.
I have been using virtualbox on amd for a long time - everything is fine.
