What is AMD’s vision for 64-bit computing?
The evolution from 32-bit computing to 64-bit computing is inevitable and will happen much faster than the transition from 16-bit to 32-bit. AMD64 can accelerate the industry’s move to 64-bit computing by providing a solution developed with customers in mind. AMD’s approach embraces the platforms and applications already in use in business and home computing today and offers a way to make a smooth transition to next-generation technology by allowing a simultaneous 32- and 64-bit computing environment. AMD64 enables a seamless transition for enterprises and consumers; it is designed to provide a migration to 64-bit computing without sacrificing the performance and compatibility of today’s installed base of 32-bit systems.
