Unfortunately, the thread itself is based on same - speculation.
Prof. Agner Fog made a topic at ace's hw which is still active.AMD embraced intel's AVX decoding scheme (at least the one that was valid back in Jan.) and intel recently changed it, again,thus making AMD's now revised SSE5-AVX incompatible- again

It seems that AMD are the nice guys in this case. They have made great sacrifices by dropping their SSE5/DREX coding scheme and replacing it with Intel's scheme for the sake of compatibility. And then Intel have blown it all by changing their specs once again. Arghhhhh!!!!!!
