"In terms of real CPUs that are >64-bits, I doubt the need for one will ever exist outside of very specialized scientific apps. Any mainstream application, or even any server oriented application, uses data that is largely 32-bits or less in size." BMW: Sounds like the Patent examiner in the early 1900's who said "..every thing that can be invented has already been invented.." Several uses for 64 bit (and 128 bit in the future) will be extended-extended precision arithmetic, FP and Integer, handling ultra large databases, encryption and security, and there is always packed data handling.
