64 Bit XSI 2005-04-25 - By lpiasecki76

Simon, 64bit would not really make software faster unless the software
performs operations which are 64-bit on the 'inside'. This is my
understanding. Also, chips like Opteron have twice as many registers as
Xeons, to my awareness, hence using those extra registers can make software
faster.
At least that's my understanding.
What I wonder though is that they never mention XSI 4.2, but a 'prototype'.
So perhaps it's a prototype of v4.5 or 5.0 ? :-)
