That is not a concern. Ryzen is already taking the desktop market by storm. Ryzen is not an Intel design. Intel excels in single threaded performance and does very well in multi-thread workloads. Ryzen so far is at least 20 percent faster in multi-thread loads at the same price level. Naples/Ryzen is a serious competitor to Intel. Once compilers are fully optimized it gets better. I have built several Ryzen systems and compatibility is a non-issue. It it is x86/64 it runs on Ryzen/Naples.

OK, AMD has announced it's new line of server and desktop processors. What level of CentOS has been tested on them? OK then, when will CentOS be tested on them? Or do we wait for Red Hat?
If AMD's new CPUs aren't 100% compatible with existing software w/o needing special versions, AMD is shooting themselves in the foot.
