Tumult over hvem der var først med 64bit teknologi.
Der er endnu engang rejst tvivl om hvem der skal bære æren over "opfindelsen" af 64bit teknologien. AMD eller Intel?
Citater: Intel: "He said a far more interesting thing too. According to Curry, Intel's "competitor" - that's AMD of course, took advantage of the work it had done. He said that the competitor announced its move into the 64-32 arena largely based on the work Intel had done."
Amd: We contacted AMD for comment on Intel's claims. Richard Baker, marketing manager for AMD Northern Europe, said: "That's interesting. It's only the last beta build [of Windows XP Pro 64] that has been certified for Intel's Nocona". Previous versions of the preview OS were certified only for AMD microprocessors, he said.
So frankly we're a little puzzled as to how AMD could possibly have stolen Intel's thunder on this work. Intel's stance on the 64-32 technology its competitor was undertaking was, for several years, that this wasn't the right approach to microprocessor architecture.
