certainly,

x86 instruction set is cloned in all modern x86 architectures,

only special instructions will not run on an intel cpu for example like: AMD 3dnow

i dont know currently above Pentium 3, i have a Celeron II now, and it does not know any 3d now, but it knows 55% higher clock rate than rated ;>

really new intel processors have AMD's 3D now! ?

AFAIK Intel never supported 3DNow! extensions and probably never will support it. Intel released its own multimedia extension, MMX, instead.

No, but new AMD processors have Intel's SSE/SSE2/SSE Smile

For example, Althon XP supports SSE.
