Intel’s x86 Designs No Longer Limited to Intel on Intel: IP Blocks for Foundry, Cores on TSMC

You should really know better Linux Fanboi, if you're looking for a 64Bit Linux arch what does it say? :p

I'll just leave this here ;)

Well i'm not a real Linux user :p

The original specification, created by AMD and released in 2000, has been implemented by AMD, Intel, and VIA. The AMD K8 microarchitecture, in the Opteron and Athlon 64 processors, was the first to implement it. This was the first significant addition to the x86 architecture designed by a company other than Intel. Intel was forced to follow suit and introduced a modified NetBurst family which was software-compatible with AMD's specification. VIA Technologies introduced x86-64 in their VIA Isaiah architecture, with the VIA Nano.

The x86-64 architecture is distinct from the Intel Itanium architecture (formerly IA-64). The architectures are not compatible on the native instruction set level, and operating systems and applications compiled for one cannot be run on the other.

Oh and one more thing.... :D

X86 on its own is worth _.

Now no one runs anything in 32Bit alone anymore and Intel couldn't Itanium to work (you useless.....) so that died with Intel's hope to cut AMD out X86 20 years ago.

Always wondered if Intel couldn't lean on Microsoft a bit as the i386 and A64 folder structure was rather embarrassing for Intel.

Not only were they tied to old 386 they got a lowercase "i" too while AMD got there cool 64 bit and s capital "A" :p
 
32Bit is limited to 2GB of memory, which these days is pretty useless.

So Intel have nothing to lean on MS with and i think MS knew that in the day.

Yeah, my Windows 10 64-bit is sitting there doing nothing and still 4.2 GB of main system memory is utilised.

Who knows what for...
