Intel or no Intel, it’ll be fine. Personally though for your primary router, I recommend you get 10G if you aren’t doing that already. Even if you won’t use it yet, get it now and thank yourself later

well it’s just for a home network and theres nothing I have that will ever need 10G. I energy consumption is higher and equipment costs are higher on 10G as well. I’ll likely be on gigabit for quite a bit but I’m planning the 2.5G as a compromise for future upgrades.
