Things that increase cost of ownership and deployment

1. New docking station

2. Different Drivers

3. Different OEM

4. Different OS

These all happen when you change models etc, the cost of changing to a different type of docking station is huge compared to a different type of processor.

Change from Intel Processors to AMD ones makes no difference unless you are big in to vPro.

Images are done for each new device, it make little difference to deployment as long as the drivers are there, same testing same effort.

We support a mix of Dell and Lenovo kit and around 8 or more different laptop models and 4 or 5 different desktop models, adding AMD processors will make little difference

And when did any CIO have any knowledge of the real world at the coal face?

Intel are just deluding themselves.
