Any particular reason why benchmark charts in this article are mostly Intel-only?

Yes. We are doing systems with different CPUs that you can put in the system. The idea is to give readers some sense of if you are on a configurator page, what the different options mean for performance. You cannot put an AMD chip in this system.

Broader comparisons are being done in the individual CPU reviews e.g. https://www.servethehome.com/intel-xeon-gold-6252-benchmarks-and-review/

I am trying to align numbers with what the pieces are trying to help readers evaluate.

Well duh...
But you can buy an entirely different system, which might even beat most of the options in this system in a lot of workloads, for an even lower price.
Since the article emphasizes how this system is focused on delivering high CPU performance and memory capacity at a low cost, including other cost-efficient options would have made a lot of sense.
