In addition to wattage, my other concern for a home server was fan noise. If it's anywhere that I am, I really don't want to hear it. So I got these amazing Noctua fans and simply can't hear the server. (Updating language based on replies) A datacenter-like server probably isn't designed for that. So it wouldn't necessarily work out.
I have an 8 core i5. I bought Intel (18 months ago) because I didn't want to deal with any AMD incompatibility especially since I wanted to also run it as a gaming machine using VT-d. If I were doing it again, I'd definitely go with Ryzen.
