Yeah, I can understand how it can be confusing. One thing I know is Intel now
documents some of the penalties for using AMD. The FTC required it in their
settlement.

How can we determine what applies, and what does not apply, from the various
Intel docs?

Maybe it would be better if GCC just documented things on its own, and stopped
relying on outside documentation?

I thought I was allowed to use documented functions; and I was not supposed to
use undocumented ones. Yeah, this seems to be turned on its head :)
