| | AMD64 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | AMD64 (also x86-64 or x64) is a 64-bit microprocessor architecture and corresponding instruction set designed by Advanced Micro Devices. | | | AMD64 CPUs are recognized by hacked versions of OS X "for Intel." A patch is needed to emulate SSE3 instructions on the earlier AMD64 chips that support only SSE2. | | | AMD64 represents a break with AMD's past behavior of following Intel's standards, but repeats Intel's earlier behavior of extending the x86 architecture, from the 16-bit 8086 to the 32-bit 80386 and beyond, without ever removing backwards compatibility. |

| | Early AMD64 processors lacked the CMPXCHG16B instruction, which is an extension of the CMPXCHG8B instruction present on most post-486 processors. | | | Extended Memory 64-bit Technology (EM64T) is Intel's implementation of AMD64, a 64-bit extension to the IA-32 architecture. | | | The history of the EM64T project is long and convoluted, mainly due to the internal politics of Intel. |

| | This is mainly in anticipation of increased popularity of the 64-bit processors in the future and to gain experience in solving challenges that exist while developing a distribution that would be not only considerably faster than its x86 counterpart, but also equally usable - both on servers and workstations. | | | That said, Debian developers have been working on an AMD64 for some time, and unofficial builds, including Sarge installation CDs and documentation, are already available on the Debian AMD64 Port pages. | | | Although still labeled as beta, Debian's AMD64 port has so far proved to be a trouble-free, high-quality distribution that is certainly ready for deployment on high-end developer workstations. |
