- umanwizard 7y agoModern Intel processors actually support up to 512-bit packed vector operations.
- jarfil 7y agoAs far as memory addressing goes, 64 bits should be good enough until the exabyte RAM era, and there is no reason to switch the whole arquitecture before that.
- cheerlessbog 7y agoI wonder when the exabyte Era might begin, a log plot of historical desktop memory capacities would be interesting. I can't seem to find one.
