Joe - Did you notice the rather odd description in one of those 3 IA-32E search results you got?

"... IA-31E, ?, Dread Wight, 100, ???. IA-32E,
?, Flow of Maggots, 100, ???. ... "

Also, ya think that IA-31E mentioned was their first try?
;)

Joe, that's a question I asked wbmw but I did not get a satisfactory answer. If the instruction set is called AMD64 how can Intel call it IA32-X or whatever? AMD called their SSE and SSE2 implementations what Intel called them. How can Intel emulate AMD64 but call it something else? Shouldn't AMD have some leverage here? I think Intel selling AMD64 compatible chips sounds a lot better then Intel selling IA32-X chips. How can AMD's legal let this happen?
