Hello,
another possible explanation:
What did they assume for the Spacing ?
if they use the 28 OHm on a Microstrip line they do get a quite wide
line. Assuming the same pitch, this will result in less spacing which
might be critical on a Microstrip line, but no problem on a stripline.

So overall there are several reasons mentioned why this could make
sense. Maybe Intel had some of this reasons, or it was just decided
based on simulation optimization ... You can never know ...
