Not sure why it even had to go with Intel for the infotainment system over an ARM chip maker, considering how much more expensive and how much more power Intel's chips use, but I suppose the primarily reasons would be 1) updates, and 2) better support for the Linux-based infotainment system. ARM chip makers probably couldn't promise more than 2 years of updates or strong support of Linux. It's obvious why they didn't go with AMD for both: two suppliers is better than one.
