Go up one level in this thread


Hammer x86-64 is rumored to run IA32 code at very high IPC (and really high
clock speeds), thus obviating the need for a special compiler (in the short
term). And the 64 bit architecture adds new registers as well as making them 64
bit, alleviating the register starvation and extending the amount of directly
accessible memory. But hard facts will be available at the MPF2001 in october.
The Hammer could be all that the P4 is not.
