wbmw, They achieve most of their gains in 32-bit, so I wonder how they are going to push developers towards moving their software for so little returns.

I was always saying that Hammer's 64-bit is a bonus and good sale banner, but not a real goal.

There are at least two classes of applications where 64 bit will give a large return: database and encryption (most popular in a form of SSL web servers for e-commerce). That's enough for now.

If the salemystuff.com webmaster will find out that the performance grow 100% when replacing Xeon with Hammer, he gonna do that.
