yea no doubt AMD forced Intel's hand into the 64bit arena, but
as you can tell from the benchmarks, the code IS different...

Those benchmarks are not comparing AMD to Intel, at least not in any meaningful way. They are simply comparing 32 bit programs to 64 bit programs.

EMT64 and AMD64 are the same spec. Intel was just too embarrassed to call it by its name.
