Differences Between AMD64 and Intel 64
Although nearly identical, there are some differences between the two instruction sets in the semantics of a few seldom used machine instructions (and/or situations), which are mainly used for system programming. Compilers generally produce executables (i.e. machine code) that avoid any differences, at least for ordinary application programs. This is therefore of interest mainly to developers of compilers, operating systems and similar, which must deal with individual and special system instructions.
