>The X86_64 benchmarks beat the IA64 in many cases. They did not call the IA64 architecture the "Itanic" for nothing.
To be fair, a lot of the libraries for X86_64 have probably had a lot more eyes go over them and more optimizations done than for the IA64, particularly for Linux. On the other hand, I just do not agree with Ultra-Wide Instruction Sets, and they do not agree with me. >Graphics performance is also better in 64-bit mode. May have other reasons than just larger virtual address utilization, but noted. md _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
