This is a question you may have if you are somewhat new to the IT world and build it yourself, or more so if you remember back in the day when there were Pentium, Athalon, Cyrix, 486, Celeron, and Itanium cpu's all in the market at the same time.
Chances were if your software was written and compiled for the instruction sets on CPU 1 it my not work on CPU 2. OR... you would see strange performance or less system stability with the different vendor CPU.
I will say this as we all know in gaming the raw compatibility from the Intel CPU's to the Ryzen or Threadripper line of CPU's is not 100% painless.. well it wasn't.
What I mean is that the game makers that wrote their code, and the developers that made the CPU's and the drivers for them have realized the pain points that have been ran into... and by and large fixed them.
I have had an odd hangup with 7 days to die... but that's an alpha program and I would expect that. I can't recall if I had the same problems on my Intel CPU or not so I can't count that against AMD.
Another game I logged some real hours on was Pathfinder: Kingmaker. Again I never had an issue with it. I did have a few times the game locked up or crashed during normal operation... well normal. I MAY have been running a cheat from CheatHappens at the same time. So again I can not attribute the one off lockups to AMD.
FFXIV I've been logging some hours in as well with the new build.. and it's been rock solid, even using 3rd party applications with the game.. (It's against the Terms of Service so I don't say do this.) and it's been rock solid.
Some other programs I've been running.
MS Office 365 suite: Rock solid
Discord: Rock Solid
Origins: Rock solid
Uplay: Rock Solid
Icue: Rock Solid
Blizzards launcher: Rock solid
Steam: Rock Solid
Twitch: Rock Solid
GOG: Rock Solid
EPIC Games store: Rock Solid
Steel Series Engine: Rock Solid
Samsung Magician: Rock Solid
Nvidia Control panel and Experience: Rock Solid
The Crew 2: Rock Solid
Destiny 2: Rock solid (This was fixed before I made the jump to Ryzen)
Borderlands 3: Rock Solid
....
I think you get the idea. I had zero real pain when changing over to the new build. Yes I wiped my drive and started over with a fresh OS install and had your normal configuration hoops with Windows 10. Beyond that it's been... well... Rock Solid.
That first boot after a bios update or new install... that takes an VERY long time and I ended up power cycling to get past it because I'm impatient.
That would be my biggest pain point.
So I just wanted to share that today with every program I've tried it has been amazing and a great experience and no noticeable issues.
