AMD created x86-64, Intel had just caught up by that point.
- leetcrew 6y agointel did a bit more than just "catch up"; take a look at the benchmarks in the linked article. they followed it up with solid improvements through sandy/ivy bridge. then they treaded water for eight years or so. even still, after the launch of conroe, amd didn't have a competitive high-end part until zen 2 (excepting a few high core count oddities along the way).
- hashtagmarkup 6y agothe userspace fixes required to make those intel implementation secure did a bit more than question those "improvements".
