How-To Geek Biased Towards Intel

[PlayStation 2]

OMFG. Intel made Itanium based 64 bit processors first but THEY DID NPOT IMPLEMENT 64 BIT INTO x86!!!!!

What is your argument? You're thinking too hard about this.

NVMe isn't a thing really, even after Apple slapped it into the 6s and 6s+

Excuse me....WHAT?????????????? Its in their new MacBook, its gonna be in the refresh of the Retina MacBook Pro, MacBook Air and probs their desktops. Intel has added support for it in their 750 series ( I think) and NVME is quickly going to be replacing AHCI. You're blind if you think by next year we won't see widespread adoption.

Argument being that it doesn't matter if Intel made 64 bit processors with another architecture. AMD were the ones to release an x86 chip with 64 bit extensions and THAT'S all that matters.

That's what we said about SSDs. And budget laptops still have 5400rpm hard drives.

Ah, so Apple shoving NVMe down our throats can be compared to AMD easing x64 into mainstream...

That's a bad thing??? Let me get this straight, if Apple doesn't implement new tech straight away (such as those useless quad core SOCs in their phones or stupid high 4K displays) then we're allowed to scream about how terribad Apple is but when they are pushing for new tech that will push our SSDs even more, they're just pushing crap down our throat??? Does this forum have an ignore list feature? I kinda wanna use it right now...

Sorry...didn't notice that

 

Yeah, according to this, AMD made x86-64

 

x86-64 (also known as x64, x86_64 and AMD64) is the 64-bit version of the x86 instruction set. It supports vastly larger amounts (theoretically, 2⁶⁴ bytes or 16 exbibytes) of virtual memory and physical memory than is possible on its 32-bit predecessors, allowing programs to store larger amounts of data in memory. x86-64 also provides 64-bit general-purpose registers and numerous other enhancements. It is fully backward compatible with the 16-bit and 32-bit x86 code.^{[1](p13–14)} Because the full x86 16-bit and 32-bit instruction sets remain implemented in hardware without any intervening emulation, existing x86 executables run with no compatibility or performance penalties,^[2] whereas existing applications that are recoded to take advantage of new features of the processor design may achieve performance improvements.

Sorry but that does not say anywhere that AMD created x64. In fact it doesn't say ANYTHING about AMD other than the name of AMD64

its called AMD64 because they developed it into consumer products

64 bit was invented by intel, and AMD followed

if you read the links I posted you would learn something new

Do you understand what "inventing" means?

Or maybe you dont know how to read?

I mean it's too early. USB being adopted really fast was inevitable. Most of what Apple has tried to adopt never really worked out. Thunderbolt is still unnecessary and stupidly expensive to implement. They ditched FireWire. Mini-DisplayPort only caught on with multi-monitor GPUs. Need I go on?

Look, just calm down. It's just a misunderstanding about x86-64. Just breathe in and breathe out.

I don't give a crap about who invented what first. Yes well done. Let's all clap for Intel. Now who implemented 64 bit extensions for x86 that was Inte-oh wait that was AMD.

let's keep the snideness to a minimum and talk to others in a normal tone.

Please, stop. I'm actually calm for once and I don't want to go into flame mode ;-;

OH SHIT BITCHES, RUUUUUNNNNN

I've seen enough. Locked.
