Is this possible?

[Mark Haney]

Actually, the FX9590 8-core series is well faster than any Intel chipset
and I've run Fedora 23/24 on it for quite a while now without a single
issue.  (Granted it isn't Ubuntu, but it /is/ Linux.)  FWIW, I've not
bothered with Intel chips for several years now and never had a single
issue with them running any version of linux that I use regularly.  Mostly
RHEL/Fedora and Gentoo/Arch.

While I don't completely disagree with Liam's Intel comment, I find AMD's
performance better than stock Intel setups more often than not.
