AMD64 Preview

Posted by timothy on from the progress dept.

Araxen writes "Over at Anandtech.com they have an interesting preview of AMD's 64 bit processor on a Nforce3 mobo. The results are very impressive with the Anthlon64 beating out Intel's P4 best processor soundly in their gaming benchmarks. This was only in 32-bit mode no less! I can't wait for 64-bit benchmarks come out!"

  2. Opcode depreciation by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Funny

    when using native 64 bit mode, certain legacy instructions of x86-32 are depreciated.

    Interesting. What method of depreciation will be used? I've searched on the net for opcode depreciation, and I can't see any straight-line depreciation methods or even accelerated cost recovery systems that would apply here.
