More points on AMD's X86-64 _______________________________________________ (from jc-news.com 99/10/05, 1:30pm update) Aha! Take a look here (http://www.amd.com/news/prodpr/99105.html) at AMD's official press release about their new technologies. :) More points? oÿ 6.4GB/s per connection bandwidth for LDT (Lightning Data Transport) oÿ AMD's making a strong lean noting that x86-64 will allow use of 64-bit "technology" while using 32-bit programs without penalty (Merced is expected to be very slow in 32-bit x86 stuff). "extending x86 to include a 64-bit mode that has both a 64-bit address space and a 64-bit data space. oÿ Future 64-bit processors will be able to detect which mode is needed (32- or 64-bit) and compute accordingly." oÿ LDT will appear for the K7 family in the second half of 2000 Linux (and BSD, Solarisx86, what have you) kernels should be piss easy to port. _______________________________________________ Goutama
