Intel to put 64 bits in desktops in 2005 | |
|
||
| Time: 09:07 EST/14:07 GMT | News Source: CNET | Posted By: Chris Hedlund | ||
Intel once said desktop buyers wouldn't really need 64-bit capabilities until toward the end of the decade, but the company will make such capabilities a feature across its desktop lines next year. | ||

Truly, these words were spoken from a company in denial. They're getting beat at their own game and refused to believe that the consumer can drive a market's roadmap. Hopefully they won't misunderstand that again. |

I don't know all the details but I know that it's more complicated than Mr. Dee makes it out to be. I'd have to guess that IBM made that statement because they can't see consumers needing to address 16 exabytes (or however much) of VM for a while.
Don't the extensions to the x86 and PowerPC processors both support 128-bit wide registers? That'll confuse Mr. Dee even more now. I did some checking and found this about the G5 and Apple's OS. http://www.apple.com/macosx/tiger/64bit.html |

What does marketshare percentage have to do with anything? I often see it bandied around here but the don't see the point. Especially when the market itself is still growing so a lower percentage can still mean more shipped units year over year.
The electric toothbrush that I have probably also has a low marketshare, but it gets the job done. |

#3,
Where can that be downloaded from? Does it work ok as a secondary OS (dual-boot) ? TL |

Only Parkker could figure out a way to shoe-horn Apple Market Share into a conversation like this.
And only Parkker could find a place to shoe-horn it in where it mattered less. TL |

| Again, why does market share matter? |
