Dmens , I have a question.
There is a rumor which says the following : Intel did apparently made a 64bit extension to x86 of their own ( Yamhill project ).AMD got involved with MS sooner and had their backing.When Intel came with their different 64bit extension MS refused to support 2 different implementations and asked Intel to make their AMD64 compatible.As a result they had to drastically modify Yamhill to turn it into Prescott when the design was finished already.
Is there any truth in this ?
