No, Intel FlexMigration and AMD-V Extended Migration architectures are different, and vMotion isn't supported across them.
EVC does not allow for migration with vMotion between Intel and AMD processors.[1]
This isn't really that surprising. x86-64 is standard, but extensions aren't. Eg, here's some of the new extrnsion in Zen vs Steamroller: Compared to the AMD Opteron™ "Steamroller" EVC mode, this EVC mode exposes additional CPU features including RDRAND, SMEP, AVX2, BMI2, MOVBE, ADX, RDSEED, SMAP, CLFLUSHOPT, XSAVES, XSAVEC, SHA, and CLZERO [1]
