AMD and Intel are far from open hardware. ARM is not open hardware. Sure, they're better documented and therefore somewhat more open in some sense. You can't just go have a fab build you an AMD64 core or twelve and throw the chip on a custom board and sell your own laptop. You can't just get a small batch of royalty-free ARM cores and make your own phone. Did you know there's still work going on to reverse engineer the Raspberry Pi systems because Broadcom doesn't release full docs?
