The proposed x86S CPU architecture from Intel would ditch support for 32-bit apps and operating systems entirely in favor of 64-bit software, but it could support older apps with virtualization.

The first real 64-bit architecture was released by Intel with this Itanium processor. What we are now using is the ‘backward compatible’ 64-bit extension to the 32-bit architecture, developed ...

The Pentium 4 6xx-series sees Intel finally entering 64-bit desktop CPU market. The new chips also offer improved power management (EIST) and memory overflow protection (XD bit).

Today's 64-bit CPUs include processes to "trampoline" their way into 64-bit operation. According to Intel, "Intel 64 architecture designs come out of reset in the same state as the original 8086 ...

Below is a diagram of a standard Core 2 Duo system, and it represents the general layout of an Intel system up until Nehalem or an AMD system up until the Opteron. A typical pre-Nehalem Intel system.

In a move that has a significant part of the internet flashing back to the innocent days of 2001 when Intel launched its Itanium architecture as a replacement for the then 32-bit only x86 architect… ...

Intel has revealed that it is developing a new CPU architecture ' x86S '. Support for 32-bit has been abolished in x86S, and speedup is expected by omitting useless processing. In the early 2000s ...

The 64-bit architecture known today as x86-64, which was first introduced on the market by AMD and then adopted by Intel 20 years ago, has become the dominant operating mode for modern software ...

Intel is touting a future system-on-a-chip for low-cost PCs and tablets and a 64-bit kernel for Android 4.4. Brooke Crothers Former CNET contributor Brooke Crothers writes about mobile computer ...

As I understand it, you can still run 32-bit applications on the proposed 64-bit only processors. But that would have to happen under some sort of virtualization, i.e. a 64-bit OS providing a ...
