My question is, would some of the newer/faster AMD CPUs and chipsets
work with Qubes?
I can speak for the 2000 series working. I believe some people have
working 3000 series, but 4000 has been a serious issue. Not sure if
that's the CPU or the specific laptop.

Based on the patches that have to be applied to get Qubes 4.1
working on Ryzen 4000, I'd say its a Qubes-vs-CPU compatibility
issue and not about the computers' other specifics.
BTW the patches are already applied in the Qubes 4.1 repository; I
don't want to imply you have to do that manually. And a 4.1 alpha may
be coming really soon.
But getting Qubes 4.0 working on Ryzen 4000 appears unlikely.
But a Ryzen 3000 is a relatively safe bet?
I would say the evidence is scant, except that someone with a Ryzen 3000
laptop had problems that sounded a lot like the Ryzen 4000 problems.
OTOH at least one Ryzen 3000 _desktop_ is known to work:

For laptops, Ryzen 1xxx and 2xxx appear to be a safer bet. Personally, I
think Ryzen 4000 is compelling enough to go through the trouble of
building a Qubes 4.1 installer (and then fixing the installer's mistakes).
Well perhaps I will hurry up and wait :)
I likely wont get around to my new build until after the new year, and
while I am looking to upgrade (2012 i5 currently) I am not in a super
hurry and not bent on getting the 4000 necessarily, was ready to settle
for the 3000 (though sounds like qubes isnt quite ready for either).
Thanks for the info.
