AMD vs Intel Processors for ROS
I am considering using mini-PC on my robot and can't decide between using AMD or Intel processors. I am leaning towards AMD becuase of its much better multi-core performance but to use this functionality i need to create ROS node with multithreading capabilities. Aside from that, Intel processors are one generation ahead of the same price-tag mini PC that is using AMD.

I'm not sure this is answerable without you already knowing exactly what you're going to do with either platform.
Run many nodes? The more cores the better.
Running one single, large node which depends completely on single-thread performance? Perhaps Intel might (still) be a better choice.
Etc, etc.
This is hard to answer as:
will be possible with just about any modern CPU (including ARM and RISC-V systems).
If you can come up with some possible application / usage scenarios, perhaps people here can provide some suggestions.
