Is Intel TBB processor dependent? Will it work on amd or on ARM (under meeGo for example?)

Software compatibility between AMD and Intel processors is near 100%. The biggest class of software that won't run on AMD systems is utility and information software designed specifically for Intel motherboards and processors. Of course with an AMD system you have no use for such.
If you were try try and force an AMD processor into an Intel socket you would simply end up with a slew of bent and twisted pins, a useless processor, and a useless motherboard.
Industry Giants Compete For much of its history, AMD has been the persistent underdog to Intel in the semiconductor space. Intel has tended to dominate all sectors of the CPU market, including high-end performance processors. AMD focused on lower-cost, budget-friendly middle- and low-range chipsets.
Affected hardware The Meltdown vulnerability primarily affects Intel microprocessors, but the ARM Cortex-A75 and IBM's Power microprocessors are also affected. The vulnerability does not affect AMD microprocessors.
No, it is not processor dependent. It is just a C++ library so as long as the compiler you are using is capable of compiling it you should be fine. From the FAQ of the website you linked to:
What compilers, operating systems and processors are supported?
The project is dedicated to supporting all compilers, all OSes and all processors as a cornerstone objective of the project. Up to date information on status is available on the web site.
Edit: Poking around a little more it looks like people are having problems getting it working on ARM processors, but nothing that should be insurmountable.
