00:48: uhh I absolutely *guarantee* you've seen *tons* of laptops with AMD GPUs in them - they even put out custom SKUs for them (M295X etc). In fact once upon a time you'd be basically guaranteed to see one in every single coffee shop. So, very few vendors *other than* one of the largest vendors (with the largest production runs of a single product on the planet etc). I about spit out my coffee when I heard this because trust me, I was *excruciatingly* aware of the AMD dGPU laptop in my old work MBP i9, any time it was plugged into a display it would bump system power to almost 50 watts because the display was hardwired to the GPU and there was no "optimus" style solution even when the iGPU would have been adequate. Install "TG Pro" and look at the mode, it'll tell you when the dGPU is active, and it's an AMD 5500M or something on that model. And "exelban/stats" has an "average total system power" metric that will immediately jump up as well.

The problem with licencing out x86 is that the licencee would also need to get an amd64 licence in order to make a contemporary processor. So Intel and AMD are kind of stuck in a binary star state now.
