If RHEL supports them, CentOS will support them.

Most Tier-1 OEMs don't want to support anything but a combined
hardware/software solution.
With that said, many Tier-2 and whitebox OEMs cater to multiple OSes.
Several system integrators lurk on the Red Hat AMD64 list:

I also mentioned decade-old ASL recently as shipping CentOS as an
additional option to Fedora Core and RHEL:

Since Dell doesn't ship AMD on its servers, it makes little difference.
Although I wouldn't put more than 1-2GiB RAM in the servers.
If you need more than 2GiB, I'd be looking towards AMD.
