Back of course, it would have been suicide for them otherwise, especially given that Microsoft is behind AMD64 and would not have supported them.

now hold on - maybe i'm super duh! here but does that imply that whatever 64bit extensions intel added to their Xeons is fully compatible with that AMD did earlier with their opterons? thanks, -ben --- ben huber (x83291) ilm digimatte masters of funny cards ---

That's a bizzare question, because there is no way to make a 64-bit application that runs on AMD64 or Intel xeon 64-bit, without "compiling it for the opteron" . There is just one intruction set.

We will be getting 5-10 extra seats with either 64bit Opteron or Xeons.
Previously it seemed that AMD and SI were partners. With regards to the 64-bit version of XSI. Will it be 'targeted' (compiled) for Opterons or Xeons? Could you please give us some preliminary speed benchmarks regarding the performance of 64-bit XSI on 64-bit Opteron vs. Xeon systems?
