sebFlyte writes "It's been a long time coming, but Intel's first 64-bit desktop chip (the 6xx series) is here now, and thanks to ZDNet it has been thoroughly tested. The article has the full specs of the new family, explains the benefits of the changes, and also the results of tests on the new chips to establish perfomance boosts for games, photo manipulation and video work, among other things."

eXecute Disable (XD) bit by axis_omega · 2005-03-04 11:47 · Score: 0, Offtopic

This is the eXecute Disable (XD) bit...The Athlon 64, Athlon 64 FX and Opteron processors also offer this feature, which AMD calls No eXecute (NX).

I have long waited to see this day! Finally the evil bit will prevail!
Long live the bit! Your are the only "one" true lord.

Very nice article indeed. I just don't like the quality of the graph gifs. They look rather disturbing.

AMD will beat them to the punch when they release the first quantum chip.

I don't think I could get that framerate if I *wanted* to.

wow, I'm glad you linked to that article and showed me the light. I guess I"ll just have to get an athlon 64 if the 6XX series really performed THAT bad.
