I’ve personally had success with an AMD 2200G
I can’t give a great answer but…
If I was going with a newer AMD i’d recommend checking freedesktop.org to make sure they have a driver for the processor’s codename. My 2200G AMD for example was “Raven”.

Their drivers come pre-installed in Fedora/CentOS/RHEL but you’ll need to do a manual install for other distros.
AMD also doesn’t have the Spectre vulnerability which requires all sorts of software mitigation. Intels will perform slower than what the stats imply depending on what you’re doing with them.
I don’t follow Hardware Addicts but if I did I could probably give you some great episodes for this:
