What's the difference between a Linux server and an AMD processor-based server?

I don't know much about servers but I would like to know the technical or physical difference between an AMD-based server and a Linux server. Is one better than the other at a particular application or process?

Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

buckets is correct. One is hardware and one is software. You could have a Linux server running on an AMD or Intel (or in some cases other) processor. You could also have an AMD-based processor in a non-Linux machine, like Windows.
One thing I have not seen is a Mac on AMD hardware but it may have been done as a "Hackintosh" experiment.

AMD processor-based server is nice but Linux server works better.

Linux is an Operating System and AMD is a processor (hardware) so these two cannot be compared.A physical system, that holds an AMD processor can run any Operating System like Windows or Linux
