Hello, Actually, what it says is, "Intel's extensions, which it first used in the Xeon and are called EM64T, are compatible with AMD's extensions." I wouldn't infer that to mean more than it says: Intel's _extensions_ are compatible AMD's _extensions_. A quick experiment would tell. Because these same extensions exist in the Xeon, by your reasoning, the AMD64 codebase should run on a Xeon platform, nee?
