I searched manuals of Intel and AMD, but I failed to find any useful knowledge on how SMP is supported by x64.
Any useful materials? Thank you all!

It may be not very obvious but on intel manual there is a big section:
CHAPTER 8
MULTIPLE-PROCESSOR MANAGEMENT

Thanks! I found that later. I think the memory access model and cache coherency can show how x64 supports SMP.
