i think its mostly because alot of people here are PC enthusiasts who like to work on their computers, mod them , and push em to the extreme...

INtels are bad candidates for this as for one they are expensive (so extreme pushing is out for most budgeted people)

also intel is being a whore about ocerclocking and makes a crap load of barriers for OCers.
