1. CPU architectures behave differently. Doesn't matter if you compare AMD archtitecture to Intel architecture, or future Intel to older Intel etc. They have differences which require different kinds of optimizations.

2. Never heard of this, and it seems Google hasn't heard of it either. I'd bet a bunch they were ES parts.

3. MWAIT and MONITOR are Hyper Threading specific instructions, they are of no use for AMD.

So yeah. Great.
