Topic: Red Hat

Merril Lynch, a podium Wall Street firm, has already moved its computing
infrastructure to the open source Red Hat platform. This is a significant
datum by the financial services giant, and in an industry traditionally

The myths and realities of 64-bit computing
Date: 2002-03-25 13:34:02
Topic: AMD

I've been seeing a lot of confusion surrounding 64-bit computing lately,
undoubtedly spurred by discussion of AMD's Hammer. There seems to be this
idea that 64-bit computing will provide a 2X performance increase over
32-bit computing; this couldn't be more false. This idea was probably
proliferated by video game console marketing (ie, a '64-bit' game console
is twice as fast as a '32-bit' one.) I often see the phrase 'a 64-bit CPU
can process twice as much data per cycle as a 32-bit CPU' or something
similar in articles, implying that the 64-bit CPU is twice as fast.
.Pretty interesting stuff but not for faint of hearts.Here is the link.
