What math is there to do? Intel and AMD have cross-license agreements
that date back to the Pentium, IIRC. It isn't a huge shock to see that
Intel has adapted AMD64. It would have been a huge annoyance to
introduce another 64 bit extension to the ia32 instruction set.
Even if it where Not Invented Here (at Intel).
