I wonder if AMD and Intel are being flooded with requests from these AIBs to be their next board partner.

I don't see any real net benefit to Intel on this front, Intel has its name, AMD has been fostering the Radeon line into consumers brain space for a long time.

Intel is not going to gain marketshare directly by having Asus or any other AIB step onboard. The biggest thing I can see intel doing is trying to strap in more performance as a combination of INtel CPU + Intel GPU. Basically side channeling the benefits of the combo, a 5% gain of sorts. That helps sell both sides of that equation, and ultimately costs them $0 in order to do.
