Since there were no reliable ones, I'll use dports package downloads numbers on mirror-master.dragonflybsd.org to cook up some. In the meantime, here are some numbers from a few Linux distributions. Scientific Linux: https://www.scientificlinux.org/about/stats/2012/arch.html https://www.scientificlinux.org/about/stats/2013/arch.html After counting the architecture-specific packages downloaded, we get: March 2012 => 67.02% amd64 March 2013 => 70.20% amd64 Arch Linux: There are also a few numbers (and graphics!) in this blog post: https://pierre-schmitz.com/farewell-i686/ i386 usage is decreasing slowly but surely; approximately 80% of downloaded packages are amd64 versions at the moment. Most remaining i386 users are also using amd64-compatible CPUs. -- Francois Tigeot
