Yup sounds about right. Glad we cleared that up.

FYI: that's how you reach wrong judgements, reading only the parts you want to read and assume the rest is subjective or anedoctal.

With AMD CPUs is PCID supported starting with family 0x15 model 0x30+, meaning, Steamroller, Kaveri, etc. and including Ryzen of course, but excluding Bulldozer and Piledriver (aka the FX 4xxx, FX 6xxx, FX 8xxx and FX 9xxx series).

AMD fam15h (i.e. bulldozer and descendants) and fam17h (zen) processors at least have the PCID support bit hardwired to zero. bulldozer has invpcid, which is different.
So for now PCID seems to be an Intel-only feature.

Interesting, and thanks for the correction. I had only checked the docs on the existence of the feature bit flag, which started showing up with family 0x15 model 0x30+. I assumed it got implemented together with the PCID feature itself, but not that only the bit got implemented and set to zero.

One more good reason to not post bullshit yourself, I'm far better than you at that game.

Oh, you're not only better than me! You're better than everybody. You sure can be proud of yourself and I bet you are.

No, there is GhostOfFunk, debianxfce, duby229, and probably someone else I'm forgetting too. They are natural-born talents. Mine is just an aquired skill.

How ironic, that's exactly how this whole petty argument happened in the first place - you made an assumption based on what you wanted to hear.

Take your own advice. Also, you should realize you're now the one being trolled.

No your more like disillusioned fanboy who believes what he's been told and not he sees.

More like you went overboard with your statements and caused people to read it wrong.

We are all trolling each other, I'm having fun tho.
