It will run on any x86_64 hardware, including AMD like any other linux distro.

However AMD also have ME-like shit named PSP and it is less reverse engineered for now than Intel ME.

Hardware in list could run coreboot with ME disabled. If you are onto privacy, then you definitely will want to install coreboot on your computer, effectively disabling ME stuff. AMD have much less support in coreboot than Intel - https://coreboot.org/status/board-status.html so it is logical that you will have only Intel hardware in the list.

Howvever, Tails/Qubes/whatever are not something special, you could get exactly same level of privacy with any other distro. Moreover, using some special distro could play bad game attracting unneeded attention unlike some usual Debian/Ubuntu with same high-privacy configuration.

Key for privacy is not specific distro, it is your brain, really. And using some super-private Linux distro without flashing coreboot instead of factory BIOS/UEFI have no any sense.

> Virtualization seems to have a lot of security benefits.

You've been smoking something really mind altering, and I think you should share it.

x86 virtualization is about basically placing another nearly full kernel, full of new bugs, on top of a nasty x86 architecture which barely has correct page protection. Then running your operating system on the other side of this brand new pile of shit.

You are absolutely deluded, if not stupid, if you think that a worldwide collection of software engineers who can't write operating systems or applications without security holes, can then turn around and suddenly write virtualization layers without security holes.

You've seen something on the shelf, and it has all sorts of pretty colours, and you've bought it.

That's all x86 virtualization is.
