Intel tries very hard to downplay this, since they've essentially reversed positions, and have themselves cloned AMD's features. Dave Brown ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

True story: Intel screwed up when it shipped it's first copies of the documentation describing EMT64 technology. See, the 64-bit Pentiums only have 36 physical address lines, while the Opterons have 40 (this makes a difference in the total amount of real memory that they can address). The first generation of EMT64 manuals Intel shipped out said the chips had 40 physical address bits. Hey, Intel- you didn't quite finish filing the serial numbers off there... Seriously, if it works on one, it'll work on the other (barring SSE3 requirements). Brian ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
