My thinking is that it's not the AMD CPUs that are the problem, but rather the Intel chipsets and chipset drivers generally seem to have fewer issues. It could also be that Microsoft and others do more testing on Intel-based systems. For what it's worth, I also indirectly support quite a lot of corporate systems, and we've had a fair amount of flakiness with AMD Thinkpads. Not every laptop has issues, and not in every situation, but we get issues significantly more often for the AMD machines - this is visible clearly in the stats we keep. Anything involving docks seems to be particularly problematic. It could be that Lenovo are just making terrible devices and I'm unfairly blaming AMD - but the Intel ones are rock solid. Also I've used TPM for years, possibly since Windows 7 I think, in order to get full disk encryption with Bitlocker. More recently I've been playing with remote attestation.
