Actually, for Workstations AMD is a very serious competitor to Intel. Intel has basically killed their dual-socket 2011 Workstation motherboards, meaning a single socket 2011 is the best you can do and 8-Core Xeons start at $1,150, and are only clocked at 2.0GHz which is really low for a SB-e. And for basically the same price you can build a 32-core dual-processor monster with AMD processors.
IDK for workstations but I run a company that has over a dozen servers. All of them run Intel Xeon E3 and E5 CPUs... AMD is just too power hungry and slow and not worth the small savings up front.
