No workflow specifically requires an Intel CPU.

The instructions for x86 or x64 are widely accepted. Otherwise, you'd need a distinct OS for each CPU model. The limitation on using regular software on a processor like the Xeon Phi comes from the operating system that interacts with it. Because it runs on Linux, EXE files aren't supported. However, if you build a customized Windows version with the appropriate drivers and libraries, it would function normally, just like any standard i5 or i7. As you noted, the OS is what determines which programs are executable. The x86/x64 architecture is used by both consumer AMD and Intel processors, allowing them to run identical software under the same OS. The main distinction lies in optional features from components like integrated graphics, such as Intel QuickSync.
Adobe Premiere is struggling, but they need support from NVIDIA and AMD GPUs soon. It seems Intel might be influencing the situation to maintain their advantage over competitors.
The core components should generally work without issues, though later additions might not be as stable. It's possible some edge cases could still occur during implementation. I'll need to revisit the video, but Linus tested Windows on one version to assess performance. He likely prioritized full feature utilization over gaming optimization on 64 cores, which wasn't his focus.
