> is there any motherboards out there for AMD64/X86_64 that comes without UEFI/BIOS?

Your computer needs UEFI/BIOS for hardware initialization and launching your boot process.

There is a open implementation tho, see https://libreboot.org/

> The Libreboot project provides free, open source (libre) boot firmware based on coreboot, replacing proprietary BIOS/UEFI firmware on specific Intel/AMD x86 and ARM based motherboards, including laptop and desktop computers. It initialises the hardware (e.g. memory controller, CPU, peripherals) and starts a bootloader for your operating system.
