That doesn't mean that's universal, particularly for those of us who remember 64 bit CPUs before x86-64. I'd even wager that very young people stopped associating it with x86 at all since all x86 CPUs, save some Intel holdouts, have been 64 bits for at least the last fifteen years.
- ksec 2y agoIt is just the context, those of us who came all the way from 16bit 80286, 32bit 80386 to 64bit will read the 64bit a little differently. Especially in today's world. Some level of Hardware understanding used to be a requirement. Now a days most developers grown up with abstractions they dont have to care about any of these any more.
