Perhaps it was the Opteron ecosystem rather than all of AMD you were
thinking of. For example:

"Why Intel still makes Itanium

Intel has recently become fond of pointing out a set of numbers that
tells you all you need to know about why the company continues to pour
development money into Itanium. In both the aforementioned IDF
presentation and at the most recent Intel Investor meeting, Intel execs
pointed out that Itanium has grown into a $4 billion per year business
for the chipmaker. ... Furthermore, Intel puts the size of the entire
Opteron ecosystem at $2.8 billion, so Intel's Itanium revenues alone
beat everyone's total revenues (AMD plus all of its OEM partners) from
Opteron."
