What precludes you from using ESXi and virtualization on AMD's platform? The virtualization extensions to x86 are common to both AMD and Intel. Even direct IO and IOMMU. Is there something missing?

The virtualization extensions are actually different, but yeah, VMware supports both across all platforms. I think it's only AMD Hackintosh where you might have an issue?
