Honestly, this does explain why vendors like HP seem to have every possible combo of device available in their business class laptops as Intel CPU options, but it's sometimes like pulling teeth to get equivalent AMD options.

It's sometimes a PITA if a client specifically wants an AMD machine for some reason.

some? How about better thermals, better battery life, and a better integrated graphics?

From what I've heard Intel on top of doing more of the work ready to go, they also tend to pay for more development expense associated with products based on their stuff.

With AMD, less work is done for you and you are kind of on your own. This is why partners tend to be more enthusiastic about Intel offerings.
