When I get back to the UK I'll be building a new PC and that'll have an AMD :) |

*yawn* 64-bit computing doesn't really excite me. yet. |

AMD led on this one. give it a few years, more apps need to be written in 64 bits to get the advantage |

To elaborate, not only is intel using an instruction set based off of AMD's, but also they aren't giving any credit. Well at least the good news is that much code built for the amd64 extensions won't need much revision. I'm writing some scientific stuff right now which will benefit from this, but one thing I don't see people mentioning is that since operations are optimized for word size (uh, redundant comment), many things will take more memory to perform the same operation (for instance loop counters). Basically it's good news for science people, and server guys panicking about memory limits. Other than that it is slightly hyped.. the again most things are evolutionary improvements, and it's not like this is a regression or anything. |
