I'm building a PC, initially wanted to use Intel because of hackintosh. But I don't think it's justified to have an already expensive CPU (Intel is more expensive than AMD) gets throttled down again due to patches.
So now I'm considering AMD. What would you recommend for developer? I will use it for Android, Docker and occasionally gaming.
(I'm aware that I most likely won't have hackintosh due to AMD)
If it's still too much a Ryzen 5 2600(X) (6 cores) is still a very good processor for almost any use case.
About hackintosh and AMD, that's is not only possible, but also not too complicated to achieve on Mojave (see https://vanilla.amd-osx.com/ for more details). Older versions required using custom AMD kernels, but some guy figured out how to patch the vanilla kernel for Ryzen and Bulldozer straight from Clover; it's not as simple as using Intel, but it's much easier than it was a few years back.
That said the Zen 2 (3rd generation) is out a in a few months so depending on urgency you may want to wait for the 3xxx series.
They moved to 7nm and the IPC bump is supposed to be decent.
