Gee really? Here’s me thinking 32-bit instruction sets were cosmetic. Thank you for ignoring the part where I said we’re still in a transition phase.
Also, with a bit of tinkering, you can run 16-bit applications. It’s just recommend to use virtualisation applications because Microsoft doesn’t ensure quality updates for 16 bit applications.
Well we are still kind of transitioning to 64-bit. Chip makers/designers are still having to include instruction sets for 16/32-bit which does limit in some respects on how big the transition really is.
Well technically we’re going to meet mainstream 1nm transistors the laws of physics will allow fairly soon so better not start counting your chicks before your eggs so soon AMD.
I honestly don’t know when you are talking about. CPUs aren’t storage devices.
