they support different subsets [1] of the same x86-64 ISA, so opcodes won't be reused.

[1] well, I hope the larger cores support a superset of the smaller cores, otherwise it would really be insane.

No idea. I'm just responding on the assumption that it's just two Intel architectures, one with fewer extensions.
