Question

Probably a stupid question but I am in the following situation:

our development machines are currently all 64-bit Intel-based systems, where we produce 32-bit and 64-bit versions of our applications. We also recommend our customers to use Intel-based systems (as opposed to AMD-based systems).

Now our IT-manager wants to buy some new development systems and to cut the costs he is looking into buying (64-bit) AMD-based systems. Visual Studio (2010) probably doesn't care which processor it is running on, and the generated code is probably the same, but just to be sure: does it make any difference for the generated executable on which processor (AMD vs. Intel) it is built?

No correct solution
