Chris,
Andi Kleen, the author of the orginal article had this to say
about the Inq piece:

"All I can say is that they badly misinterpreted many
of my statements. A lot of the stuff written there
has no base in what the slides say. There was also
no intention to bash any of the CPU vendors. I guess
they were looking for sensations when there weren't any
(perhaps a slow news day?)

The only bashing that's in there is some mild (was intended
to be funny actually) criticism of the respective marketing
departments for the naming mess (x86-64, amd64, x86-64, em64t, ia32e, CT, ... what will VIA and Transmeta come up with?)

-Andi"

It sounds like its not really a problem.
