+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.
