Well, I think that the Intel compiler will use EM64T latencies instead of K8 Latencies in code generation.

Smallpops, your two questions are related.

I think Intel's platform story is a hardware + software + infrastructure equation, all of which Intel is pretty good at. I'm thinking along the lines of system management, serviceability features, virtualization, security, etc. Many of these initiatives will benefit from being done in-house with a close-knit team, as opposed to collaboration with a 3rd party. Intel is reinventing themselves as a platform company, and AMD can only go so far with industry enabled initiatives.
