For your purposes, AMD = Intel. A fresh install may not be necessary, but as long as you have the time, it should be fine, as the linking will catch differences in OS libraries, if there are any. Make sure that you have the same Oracle options installed! Use the installer on each server to compare, either side-by-side or output to a file for comparison.
