there are two kinds of people: those who think 'amd64' is a stupid name and those who realise it's the most correct name.

i was formerly in the former group but am now in the latter.
@wyatt We owe AMD a great debt for making sure Itanium wasn't the standard going forward.
@wyatt Firmly in the latter group here :)
@wyatt Now all we need is a 3D AMD logo to spin counterclockwise at 15 RPM at the start of a game optimized for Ryzen processors.

@wyatt I think amd64 is way better than ix86-64 or ix64

  • Anything is better than #IA64 and #Itanium deserved to be an even bigger failure than it was!
