It'll confuse the hell out of people, but I think it's probably the way to go. I hope for example that Linux based package managers split the "amd64" so that we all don't get hit by this crap.
- yabadabadoes 7y agoThe naming AMD64 correctly was visionary, but what do we call broken x64?
- cassianoleal 7y agoClearly, intel64
- saagarjha 7y agoWhy not “Intel Architecture 64-bit” to be clear? You can even shorten it to “IA-64”.
- roblabla 7y agoUnsure if this is a joke and I'm about to be wooshed, but for anyone who doesn't know: Unfortunately, IA-64 is already taken for the itanium architecture. That's why the Intel Software Developer Manual names it IA32-E and not IA64. IA32 is x86, IA32-E is x86 Extended, or x86_64. Thanks intel, I guess.
- saagarjha 7y agoIt's a joke ;)
