You're basically admitting that you don't know much about these parts of the datacenter industry, but you keep posting comments authoritatively like you do.
Why can't you just ask questions instead of misleading people?
I'm just curious so ask you a question, what's the special feature on Intel processor for AWS? I had imagined something like special turbo-boost parameter to avoid performance hit.
I'm not sure how authoritative other commenter are, but I would be very surprised that Intel was going so far to accommodate them beyond fusing perf profile/ME feature/or some small IP block.
With my knowledge of their sales tactic, I would imagine Intel could've simply said "You are free to buy AMD," with full knowledge that just few years ago their clients had no other option than coming back to them eventually.
