Re: [GD-Windows] profiler for AMD

On pre-XP Athlons, you couldn't use Event Based Sampling (EBS) in VTune,
which uses Intel's internal counters, but you could still use Time Based
Sampling (TBS), using various timers (eg. Virtual Timer Device), which
should be good enough for most purposes. I don't think this has changed on
Athlon XP.

Subject: [GD-Windows] profiler for AMD


We are considering to switch to Athlon XP from Intel chips.We know that XP
is compatible with
Intel instruction set but  are they compatible with intel architecture to
the extent of internal counters?
What I am after is, indeed, whether I could use VTune when I use AMD chip?
If not, is AMD's CodeAnalyst good enough to meet development needs
 currently it has version 1.1 which seems like
they did'nt have a long history of making profilers :) ) ?
