i think for the most part the cpus should be ok. they do have different feature sets but the isa is the same. the platform chipset is a different topic i guess.

i think for the most part the cpus should be ok. they do have different feature sets but the isa is the same. the platform chipset is a different topic i guess. they dont need to share any logic or semantics between amd/intel as those are controlled by drivers rather than having to execute programmer's machine code directly.
not 100% on this, but x86_64 between amd and intel does share a lot of overlap right? if you dont go too far into extensions perhaps.
id guess vmxon and vmxoff and vmcs structures etc. will still be the same on both? a lot of security stuff etc. is totally different (amd psp vs intel ME etc.)
(still agree ofc, but just thinking about where these differences are located as the cpus can run very similar or the same code)
- replete 2y agoIt mostly works, but virtualisation (even on baremetal) isn't possible at the moment, some applications need special patches, and weird issues here and there for some situations. AMD hacks are a hobby for a lot of people
- sim7c00 2y agothats thata given me quite a new hole to fall into and discover :D
