Nocojones looks like a very early alpha part.

That the CPUID function disables its use on XP64 tells me that intel really didn't want any reviewers trying it and afaik the Linux port of iAMD64 is just in development.

Right now its a 32-bit chip that may run most AMD64 instructions properly. Enough to send out a few samples to developers to test CPUID code and do the switch from legacy to long mode. Who knows maybe they've just shipped the developers a simulator, like AMD did some years ago.

It looks a long, long way from shipping. Years even. Intel must be screaming, yelling and begging MSoft not to lauch XP64.

The bug list must have lots of so-far blank pages at the back in a 3-ring binder.
