Jan 3, 2011 · X64, amd64 and x86-64 are names for the same processor type. It's often called amd64 because AMD came up with it initially. All current general-public 64-bit desktops and servers have an amd64 processor. There is a processor type called IA-64 or Itanium. It's only found in supercomputers and a few high-end servers.

Nov 27, 2016 · AMD64 systems allow the use of the AGP aperture as an IO-MMU. Operating systems can take advantage of this to let normal PCI devices DMA to memory above 4 GiB. EM64T systems require the use of bounce buffers, which are slower. SYSCALL and SYSRET are also only supported in IA-32e mode (not in compatibility mode) on EM64T.

No AMD64 is the name attached to 64 bit files (AMD was the first to develop a 64 bit architecture, so the name is still applied). Most of the files that are in Winsxs are not really taking up space. They are Junctions (symbolic links to other storage locations) Junctions use no space. Have a look at this very long thread. Look for my post near ...

Dec 31, 2012 · "AMD64" is a generic identifier for 64-bit code in Windows. There is the AMD64 code branch which includes both AMD and Intel processors, and there is the IA64 code branch which includes only Intel Itanium 64-bit processors. Intel processors use AMD64 branch code because they use features and microcode licensed from AMD.

Oct 16, 2011 · Explanation of how the label AMD64 originated. Notice these quotes: The original specification was created by AMD. After launching the architecture under the "x86-64" name, AMD renamed it AMD64 in 2003. So, the answer is:"Not much difference." As for part of of your second question, see this link. Ubuntu explanation of why there is an alterative CD

Mar 22, 2014 · The difference between amd64 and i386 is that amd64 is 64-bit while i386 is 32-bit. This is the width (in bits) of registers available in the core. Basically the largest number that a 32-bit CPU core can handle in one go is a little over 4.29 billion while a 64-bit core can handle a number of a bit over 18.44 billion, billion.

Mar 26, 2015 · AMD64 is the real 64 bits architecture that AMD created and intel licensed it and uses it even today (just as AMD had the license to use x86 on the 32 bit CPUs). x86_64 far as i know is nothing more than a 32 bit CPU that can address the extra memory that a supposed 64 bit system need (so like a 32 bit system that recognizes and uses more than ...

Hello,I've got 3 folders taking upto 4gb space on my windows folder. Guessing these belong to nvidia drivers. I had to recently re-install my drivers and nvidia is known to bloat your pc with

The 64-bit version is typically called 'amd64' because AMD developed the 64-bit instruction extensions. (AMD extended the x86 architecture to 64 bits while Intel was working on Itanium, but Intel later adopted those same instructions.) The 32-bit version is called i386, because Intel originated the 32-bit instruction set used on these chips.
