Google says AMP is not a page rank service, and AMP will not get special treatment.

FTA: In past, we heard that AMP is not ranking signal. But your page speed is. If Google see two version of page, one AMP and one other, Google will show AMP version in result.

Although it reads like a poor Chinese to English conversion, the meaning is fairly clear.
