<<re: Microsoft has to support AMD's instructions >> It is 32-bit compatible... presumably. My point is, simply put, that I do not believe Intel could undermine AMD's x86-64 architecture (by being say... 95 percent compatible) without a market uproar, after spending the last eight years preaching the benefits of IA-64 and the end of x86. Just my opinion and I'll make a wager with anybody that Intel does not usurp AMD's architecture after the Hammer's debut. They cannot cannibalize IA-64 nor do they want to legitimize x86-64.
