   Intel cribbed x86-64 tech 'from AMD documents'</a>,
   The Register, April 7th, 2004.
   </strong></font><br>
   Quotes Tom Halfhill in <em>Microprocessor Reports</em> 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.
