I think there is a lot of trust of Intel. It is the only processor company most people know. For IT departments I think a lot of it is that they want you to have processors they know work with their software stack. In addition, Intel has their own software stack that works with their processors that include features such as Remote Desktop and security. Intel, like Microsoft, has become very good at catering to the Corporate IT crowd.

Also you're vastly overestimating the knowledge of the average computer users. Many of them can't even tell the difference between the CPU and GPU.

  Sorry, even you overestimated. A lot of users think CPU is the case.
