Ifølge en meget respekteret tysk it-journalist, er Intels 64-bit implementering i "Nocona", meget dårligere end AMDs Opteron. Grunden kan skyldes at Intels "Nocona" stadigvæk emulerer 64-bit i nogle tilfælde.
According to Stiller, a beta tester has told him that "it sucks". He suggests that could be because Intel's answer to AMD64 might be because it still emulates 64-bit in some cases. It's not properly got on the iAMD64 bandwagon yet.
Further, says Stiller, HP already realises that because it's opted for AMD Opterons. Læs mere her: http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=15149
