AMD vs Intel boards, post time

Are there any significant differences in the time it takes AMD vs Intel (am4 vs whatever socket coffee lake is) motherboards to post or do I need to be looking more at specific boards rather than processor compatibility?
 
With the OS on a SATA SSD or a NVMe drive, both are very fast to post.

How often are you planning on restarting your system? In my opinion, there are a lot more important features to compare and consider over post time (e.g. number of M.2 slots, audio, PCIe lanes, build quality, etc).
 
Potentially every day, and when required by updates. Any new system would most definitely have a NVMe drive, but I thought post time had more to do with the motherboard than hard/sold state drive???

Most new boards work with Windows 10's "fast boot", so even if you do it once a day, you are looking at maybe 20 - 30 seconds depending on what CPU/chipset you go with. I personally believe there are far more important features/pros/cons to look at. I guess since I use a NVMe drive, and Windows doesn't usually have many updates where you need to reboot your system, it just isn't a big focus of mine. I generally leave my system up for weeks at a time, and when I do need to reboot it, it happens so quickly I am not impacted by waiting 20 seconds.

I guess at this point are you looking at mainstream consumer boards (Z370, X370) or you looking a pro-sumer boards like X299 and X399)?

One of the features I personally believe is important is a very fast boot time. Different opinions and all that.
