AMD has something called "Lightning Bolt". A cheap knockoff of sorts which is less able.

Intel Thunderbolt adds expense to a system board though. Many people go with AMD as a cheaper alternative to Intel so spending more for Intel Thunderbolt may not be something typical AMD customers are willing to do. So manufactures may be asking themselves "who would buy such an AMD Thunderbolt board?".
