As far as I know several orgs are using AMD Ryzen CPUs with oVirt. Ryzen CPUs are quite nice from price/performance perspective. Best Regards, Strahil NikolovOn Jul 17, 2019 15:04, Michal Skrivanek <michal.skrivanek@redhat.com> wrote:

No well we saw that only CPU’s are supported.
So we want to find out what hardware we need in order to progress.
Servers with the needed CPU architecture.
Not sure what you’re looking for. A developer kind of answer - you got that already. If you want anything better I suggest you talk to a vendor who sells oVirt for a living and help you with the right architecture fitting your needs. List of certified Intel CPUs for RHEL (and hence CentOS) is here [1] and here[2]. We also support IBM POWER8 and POWER9, and if you wanna start something really big, IBM zSystem mainframes as a tech preview;-)
Thanks, michal

While this may be true, today, in 99% (because if you're running the new Ryzens there are a select few.... and I mean few, that might have 128GB) of Ryzen setups are going to be 64GB or less, which might not make for the most ideal hypervisor environment. It's possible that you have very very very very heavy CPU bound VMs that do not require much memory though.
