You do know that the 64 bit version of Windows XP was made for AMD processors before intel had any.
We also had Transmeta. I bet all of them have some kinks just as different models from the same vendor have different bugs etc. that require special handling.
Meltdown/Spectre is just a recent and very visible artifact that would demonstrate this.
- asveikau 8y agoYeah I know. But I think at MS they work closely with Intel and think of other vendors as not as important. I did work there too, and to be clear, did not witness anything like this. Just a personal opinion/hunch.
