AMD seems to be more opensource friendly?

I disagree. While AMD has a good track record with free software... so does Intel:

1. Nearly all of their wireless drivers are free,
   and have been for a long time.  (..with small
   arguments about the firmware...)  They are also
   developed in a fairly open manner.

2. Their graphics drivers are free, especially
   the newer ones... and they're developed in
   a fairly open manner.

3. Nearly all of their compilers and developer
   tools run on Linux.

4. They (along with Nokia) are bank-rolling the
   MeeGo project.  It is also being developed in
   an open manner with an emphasis on getting
   free code into upstream.
