For big companies, migration to AMD is a risky move. Old applications work well on Intel and Intel has been reliable for years. Big corps love boring tech. Now that Intel offering sucks, they do notice but they are not jumping all the the same time. Will the old applications work well on the new AMD tech? What if there is an incompatibility/HW bug on AMD platform which makes critical applications fail?
It takes years for the big companies to get interested in such a big of a platform switch. For now, they've been sticking with Intel and observing how the situation develops. If Intel keeps screwing up, which they do, eventually the big migration will happen.
