What has that got to do with anything?
If they want to test it they have to find a way, or not do it at all, use Intels
or GCC.

I just don't see who would care about the boost Fritz 3.xx is going to get on
AMD64 when there probably will be a supporting 64-bit Fritz 10.xx out.

This chip is for the future, not the past.
People who are stuck in the past probably don't care much about speed anyway.
