One might also remember AMD's history of other instruction sets, and how successful they were in implementing those. 3DNow, anyone?

3DNow served its purpose. It was timely, it worked, had adequate support, and kept AMD competitive.

Intel sets the standards. No doubt about that. If Intel introduces its own 'x86-64', that will be the standard, not AMD's. It will be interesting to see whether Intel can overcome corporate politics and do the smart thing.
