+ Intel cribbed x86-64 tech 'from AMD documents',
+ The Register, April 7th, 2004.
+
+ Quotes Tom Halfhill in Microprocessor Reports as saying that
+ Intel developed its 64-bit extensions to the 32-bit x86 instruction set by
+ "reading AMD's pre-release documentation".
+ After detailed comparison of AMD's 64-bit products and Intel's clone of them,
+ "In every case," Halfhill concludes, "we found Intel had patterned its 64-bit x86 architecture after AMD64 in almost every detail."
+ Quotes the OpenBSD team as saying
+ "We've tested the Intel x86 64-bit stuff, and it works for OpenBSD.
+ But it's nasty, because they left out the NX (non-executable) bit
+ in the page tables."
+ Maybe there was a page missing from Intel's photocopy of AMD's documentation.
