Summary
CI's microVM and platform runners are Azure VMs with Intel Xeon CPUs (Ice Lake-SP or Emerald Rapids). So no CI job exercises an AMD CPU profile or the AMD paths of the backends, and the performance gate covers only Intel hosts. #396 deferred AMD runners (plan item 7), and doc/benchmarks.md says how one would get its own series.
The built-in AMD profiles now serve the CPUs of Azure's AMD VMs: Milan, Genoa, and Turin. #412 qualified all three on KVM in GitHub-hosted Actions runners, which are such VMs, with the full default test-microvm suite. GitHub-hosted runners can't hold a performance series, though: each job lands on any of those CPUs, or on an Intel one.
