In other words, Intel's implementation deviates from the architecture as defined by AMD. So it's not 100% compatible. I just want this point to be clear.

There may exist non-instruction-set differences between the chips as well. Opteron systems (which have per-CPU memory control) operate as NUMA machines; will the same be true for any of Intel's ia32e chips?
