Sorry, of course, Sun bought MySQL AB.
Large server memory (more then 4 GB) usage details is the main reason of AMD64
usage and its suggestion by Oracle, I think... Not details of InnoDB format or
MySQL server realisation... At whole, for each (heavy? strongly?) loaded server
program large memory usage is very important.
The next reason is non-independent level 2 cache memory in Intel Core Quad
processors. Intel Em64T technology is (a very simple view) memory over 4 GB
mapping in a window 128 or 256 MB width laying below 4 GB in UMA address
space.All this is my opinion only, based on Intel SR/SH (4*Xeon-MP) and Intel
platforms 4*Xeon 2*Core processors, 1*Intel CoreQuad workstations usage. No use
Intel CoreQuad for "serious" servers in companies where I work. Up to 120 GB
InnoDB bases in DBMail 2.xx.
