| | Ars Technica: An Introduction to 64-bit Computing and x86-64 - Page 1 - (3/2003) |
| | If we think realistically about most of the world's commercial software not as "software" in the abstract but as x86 binary code, then it becomes apparent that improvements to the x86 ISA represent one of the most practical and cost-effective ways to advance and expand the x86 software market. | | | Programmers, analysts, architecture buffs, and enthusiasts often see x86 as a leaden albatross around the neck of the entire computing industry, and like the Mariner's albatross we were all hoping it would just fall off at some point and slip quietly into the deep. | | | Though x86 is the world's most successful ISA, it's also the world's most widely disparaged. |

| | The AMD64 ISA is an AMD innovation that extends x86, the industry's most widely supported instruction set, and is designed to enable 64-bit computing while remaining compatible with the vast x86 infrastructure and industry experience. | | | AMD64 is AMD’s 64-bit platform that extends the industry-standard x86 instruction set architecture and defines a new class of computing. | | | AMD64 is designed to directly follow the evolutionary path of the industry-standard x86 ISA, allowing the technology industry to build a unified 64-bit computing infrastructure fully compatible with the ubiquitous x86 architecture. |

| | Paul Hsieh's 7th generation x86 CPU Comparisons |
| | In x86 processors this is an important consideration due to the non-uniformity and variable length nature of the instruction set. | | | Although Intel correctly points out that x86 to micro-op decode penalties no longer affect branch mispredicts, the bulk of the pipeline stages in the architecture appear between the trace cache output and execution stages. | | | From the architecture, the Athlon should be able to execute any combination of optimized x86 code at least as efficiently as the P6. |

| | OS X for x86 already in the wild? - Engadget - www.engadget.com |
| | Apple had OS X for Intel machines (which we’re lovingly referring to as OS X86) under wraps for a half a decade, and not a week after its announcement, a “developer version” is apparently already in the wild on P2P and IRC networks. | | | As for the developer version of "OS x86," I believe Apple's developer hardware (I think I got the specs from TwinMac.com) is a 3.6 GHz Pentium 4 processor on an Intel 915 chipset. | | | No for apple, having 25% of the computer users on the planet relying on you for an OS, which will inevitably rapidly degenerate because of it, is far less appealing, I'm sure, than having even 3% of computer users relying on you for almost everything, and worshiping you loyally because of it. |

| | This spring, when the final beta release was announced, again without a build for the Solaris x86 platform, it became clear that our advocates had been unsuccessful in convincing the decision makers in Desktop Solutions to support our platform. | | | Beginning in 2002, when Desktop Solutions stopped distributing the updates for StarOffice 6.0 for Solaris x86, it became apparent that something was amiss. | | | This winter, when Sun announced the first beta program for StarOffice 6.1 without Solaris x86, the community raised our concerns with those managers in Solaris Marketing and I was hopeful that our advocates inside Sun would again be able to get StarOffice back on track. |
