Ryzen for Virtualization/Hypervisor

[Biggerboot]

Just wondering if anybody here has had experience using Ryzen for this sort of work.  I was thinking of purchasing an apu at some point this year for this purpose.  What do you use a ryzen server for and how well did it serve your purpose?

I was using a ryzen 1700 for this worked fine, but had some crashing under load, probably due to the segfault bug. I return it and got a dual e5 2680 v2 setup. The ryzen system was low power, but I like the impi on the server board, and much more pcie slots, and the much more ram(ryzen on am4 is limited to 64gb)

For the scale of what I'm doing that would probably be fine for now.  I appreciate the insight.  I think segfault has been ironed out since then.

I have a Ryzen 5 2500 in my laptop and it will -not- boot into windows with virtualization enabled.  It will boot fine into Ubuntu 18, but its a pain to have to enable and disable the option all the time.  I guess ill just stick with Ubuntu... android studio is 100x faster in Linux anyways.
