Why Xeon?

I am building a 1U server and it seems Xeon is the most popular choice for running a MySQL/PHP website. I range from 300-400 concurrent users and all are hitting the database.

Why Xeon? Why not an AMD 64 bit or anything else. What does it have that the others don't and make it suitable to a MySQL/PHP webserver?
