Sixty-four-bit computing is here and available to systems builders now. Although recent advances in 32-bit processors have been impressive, the idea of data coursing through 64-bit wide registers at ...

Advanced Micro Devices and Apple Computer will likely tout that they can deliver 64-bit computing to desktops this year, but Intel is in no hurry. Two of the company's top researchers said that a lack ...

SAN FRANCISCO — Opteron: It sounds like one of Godzilla’s mechanical foes, but it’s actually Advanced Micro Devices Inc.’s name for its next-generation 64-bit processor, formerly code-named ...

I've waited quite some time to take a look at x86-64, because I wasn't too enthused about it when it was first announced. But the more I've read about it, the more I've come around, and at this point ...

SAN MATEO, Calif. — In a bold attempt to leapfrog rival Intel Corp. in the performance race, Advanced Micro Devices on Tuesday (Sept. 23) formally introduced a family 64-bit processors for mainstream ...

As I was checking out Wes Felter's blog, I noticed that he posted a link to the final report of the Workshop on the Roadmap for the Revitalization of High-End Computing. What's this workshop, you ask?

SAN FRANCISCO--Advanced Micro Devices tried on Tuesday to make the case that its 64-bit processor line adds up to a better deal than Intel's Pentium 4 family, which remain 32-bit chips. Although basic ...

IT is rediscovering a simple but nearly forgotten principle: Throughput and capacity are everything. It hardly matters how fast the processor is if, like a Ferrari in city traffic, it bogs down every ...
