Why couldn't you? Why couldn't you code ASM on any CPU? That's pretty much the only language you can be "sure" of having a compiler for any CPU.

Diroga yes you can. But remember inorder to allow your program to be run on any x86 CPU you need to avoid CPU specific instructions. Otherwise a program for AMD CPU might have trouble running on an Intel.

As said above, you can code assembly on AMD CPUs. The only problem is if you are trying to code for specific things like MMX or Intel calls but thats only done when you know exactly what you are doing.

An AMD accepts EVERY instruction for Intels up to PIII, otherwise Windows XP would not run.

The differences come when you are optimizing, 'cause architectures are different. But compatibility is 100%.
