gonna follow because i'm on team red since the 5k radeons and i love me a ryzen, simplest, highest cached CPUs on the market, not even just lower price but actually better performance for bulk compute (on the CPU at least) i did a test on a gen1 ryzen 7 back in 2018 that showed they had 14Gb/s (ie 96gbit) cache memory speed and 19mb, more than 2x comparable intels and it really shows when you do heavy processing on them

the "zen architecture" is essentially a micro SAN, btw, which is very different to intels... they have a more complicated structure, literally they can just stack these things on a bigger die with the same interconnect, that's how we have the EPYC and Threadripper - their scaling cost was way lower
