Well, it didn’t work in my AMD system:
Processors: 2 × AMD E-300 APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics

It might be that this CPU is rather old, but then any other distro I’ve tried (currently on KDE Neon Testing) just works. I got a “kernel panic” and some other error message. So… maybe just works in newer AMD systems?

The statement is unnecessary. I don’t know of any Linux distro that is specifically “optimized” for a particular architecture with the exception of DIY distros such as Gentoo, Sorcerer, or LFS. The developer(s) does not know what CPU will be used. If a user wants to optimize a distro, (s)he will compile it.

I agree that is a combobulated statement but it does run fine on AMD systems, with no issues and it is very fast as well.

“It is optimized for the Intel architecture, which means that running Clear Linux OS on AMD systems will not be an issue.”

HUH?! How’s that again? If Clear is optimized for Intel then it DOES NOT take AMD features into consideration and WILL NOT run well on AMD.

The article is a word salad that provides little concrete information.
