Some implementations (IIRC Firefox is one of them) choose it dynamically: if hardware AES is available, AES is ordered before ChaCha20, otherwise ChaCha20 is ordered first. Last time I looked, at least for Intel the i3 didn't have hardware AES (but the i5 and i7 have it), so it was not uncommon for lower-end hardware (which needs speed the most) to have AES slower than ChaCha20.
