EDIT: This is the article referenced by the Inquirer so perhaps this has already been posted/read/discussed.

In the flurry of posts over the last couple of days I cannot recall if this San Jose Mercury article on Intel's Yamhill processor has been referenced. Of particular interest is a paragraph near the bottom:

" Intel's decision to back the novel Itanium architecture had upset a small group of Intel engineers in Oregon, who preferred to build on the x86 legacy. When AMD released the specifications of its upcoming 64-bit chips in the summer of 2000, these ``cowboy'' engineers decided that Intel needed to match its rival. They began developing their own 64-bit extensions to the Pentium line, making sure the code was compatible with AMD's design."
