Wow. I wasn't quite expecting something as simple as "if CPU is not intel, make everything worse."

I’m sure their justification is that (1) they have no obligation to help AMD, and (2) how could you guarantee AMD implements CPUID the same as Intel (as in: what if AMD implements a feature bit differently?)
Of course, the second one makes no sense as x86 programs run just as fine on AMD as Intel with the same feature set (albeit at different speeds)
