running on a cheap $400 AMD Ryzen 7 2.5ghz 8 core with 16gb memory the biggest drawback I've found with AMD comparatively to equally priced competitors is the graphics card. Aside from that, I've experienced only minimal issues regarding functionality or loading(MSVB & IBM SPSS) just fine even with two-three projects or large data-sets.
