Well it depends. It means that you won't test with AMD hardware. So if 
you mentor works for AMD and doesn't has the Intel stack available it 
could get really tricky to reproduce and test things.

On the other hand you could ask if one of the Intel guys wants to mentor 
you.

That could work, but I'm not sure if that fits the requirements for a 
proposal from Google.

Same problem with that one.

Christian.
