  1. Re:"world's first 64-bit desktop processor" by babbage · · Score: 1 · on New G5 Power Macs "Fastest Desktop In The World"
    Right, and the 64 bit SGI Indigo2/Impact10000 I picked up a year ago for a hundred bucks was built back in 1993 or 1994 -- that's a decade ago now. And of course others have pointed out that Alpha chips were 64 bit even earlier than that.

    But as many people are saying, Apple isn't claiming that it's the first 64-bit processor, it's just the first one being marketed to a mass audience.

    But then, do Intel or AMD have any 64-bit desktop machines on the market yet? I know they're in the pipeline, but if either of them is selling anything now, that would cut down Apple's hyperbole much more effectively than any decade old high end workstation...

    Hrm, well, I do seem to recall reading on Usenet more than once that the SGI Origin 2000 double stacks had a little space between the two nodes and that said space got pretty toasty when the cabinet was closed... Of course, this wouldn't be the first time that SGI hardware was abused in some form or fashion...
