The fact is the very second AMD made adjustments to SSE5 and made it compatible to AVX back in January,intel changed the spec again and made it incompatible again. This is imo a clear sign of weakness on intel's part since they know that initial avx with no FMA instruction in 1st iteration of SB will be no match for new avx-like AMD instruction set in BD cores in 2011.SO they made it incompatible again by changing the spec on the fly after AMD posted their revised specification.

In the end MS will probably have a say in this matter too.Will be interesting to see how this one turns out.
