Ref-"Doubling up the entire data AND Address Buses - from 32 to 64 lines each - and incurring only a 5% die size increase.

Gotta see it to belive it !"

I am surprised as well ! All the registers should be doubled to 64 bits, and the ALU size should also be doubled
which should add lots and lots of transistors.

Unless this is not a true 64bit processor, but a hybrid 32/64 bit processor, with only some features of a 64 bit machine.
