I've mostly been an Intel chap but was thinking of migrating to AMD... what's the problem with Ryzen?

Just rumours... ::)

No specific problem, I think it's more of a healthy competition thing between Intel and AMD, and it's a good thing.
The Ryzen line has been released in 2016, so there isn't just "Ryzen". It's a whole range of CPUs across a number of generations.
With it, AMD had managed to seriously beat Intel's pants, not just in terms of cost as they used to, but in terms of sheer performance. That trend has reversed again with the latest 13th gen Intel CPUs, as the performance/price ratio is currently in favor of Intel's CPUs. Even the "modest" Core i5 13600K at around $350 is a small monster and beats the Ryzen 9 7900X which is nearly 50% more expensive, in a range of benchmarks.

No doubt AMD's gonna surprise us next time around though. That is good competition!

Dont forget the embedded processors.
Synology has choosen AMD Embedded Ryzen R1500/1600 and V1780B Processors for their NASses.

I love this competition.  I upgraded from an old Sandy Bridge CPU to a 3800X a few years back.  The CPUs in real-price-terms cost within 20% of each other but holy crap is the 3800X a beast.  My current work laptop has a 5800X in it, the battery life is  :--  but for performance it is amazing!

Not sure if it's Ryzen so much as what application you run.  We have a Threadripper 3970X system (32 Core / 64 thread) built to the hilt for rendering using an application named Keyshot and it beats the pants off an equivalent Intel system.   But try and run AutoCAD on it and expect strange hangs and crashes.  In fairness, I think AutoCAD has always favored Intel.  Still, sometimes you need to mate the platform to the applicatiion.

A graphics card (driver) issue seems more likely here.
