- zanny 12y agoIn hindsight the best thing about AMD64 is the ability to assume all the extensions found in the 686 and such up to that point. Programs compiled today for ia32 often still restrict themselves to the 386 instruction set.
- maximilianburke 12y agoI do not think that is true, VS2012 for example defaults to emitting SSE2 instructions for 32-bit code.
