Re: AMD's x86-64 will not fly (topic)

Well, we remember how the more efficient RISC architecture chips were able to displace X86 architecture chips when SPARC and MIPS started shipping. And Intel was saved only by its i860.

That is how it turned out, isn't it?

Of course, there is less of an installed base of X86 systems now, leading to less of a demand to support legacy code - especially in the workstation and server space, right?

Gopher,

I am surprised you think AMD's x86-64 will not fly. Is this an issue with the approach or because it is the K6 team working on it?

Maybe it will. Maybe K9 will be finished before K8?
