And AMD forced Intels hand on the move to 64bit.
- rbanffy 14y agoIntel had already moved on. All AMD did was to make Intel put the x86 back into the 64 bit picture. I'd prefer a clean break.
- dkersten 14y agoThe parent of my comment mentioned 80386, so my comment was about x86 and not, for example, Itanium. In the x86 world, AMD forced Intels hand. And I totally agree - I would also prefer a clean break.
- beagle3 14y agoI'd also prefer a clean break, something clean like ARM (although it's getting dirtier). But the Itanium that intel moved on to? That isn't a clean break. It's a mistake. I'm so happy that AMD was able to force them to make something useful instead.
