below is part of an artical that i read on the net.
i know you could get real technical about 64 bit. not necessary
but here is my question.
if we have two processors both 1500 mhz. both same brand. but "a"
has 32 bit 1500 mhz with 32 bit program.
"b" has 64 bit 1500 mhz with 64 bit program.
how would a kns benchtest compare with these two examples?
so if in example "a" the kns benchtest was 1200 kns for 32 bit,
what would the 64 bit do in a similiar benchtest.
Hammer processors, sometimes referred to as "K8," will first be produced on an
advanced 0.13 micron SOI process out of AMD's Dresden megafab. Unlike Intel's
Itanium, Hammer chips will provide uncompromised performance on legacy 32-bit
applications as well as open up the 64-bit computing "new frontier." In fact,
Hammers are expected to be the fastest chips in the world at running 32-bit x86
code, while seriously challenging the fastest 64-bit processors on 64-bit code.
The first desktop Hammer product, the so-called "Clawhammer," will also be only
slightly more expensive to produce than contemporary Athlons making 64-bit
processing a real option for the masses in the near future.
