Understanding 64-bit PowerPC architecture 116
An anonymous reader writes "Each of the leading microprocessor manufacturers has announced the availability of one or more 64-bit desktop processors, but differences exist in architectural design, fabrication, support, and intended use of each processor. This article looks at the critical issues in a few of IBM's 64-bit POWER designs, covering 32-bit compatibility, power management, processor bus design, and the manufacturing process."

Once, I even saw a TRUPE on the front page -- three fucking stories, all the same. Does anyone remember what that story was?

no. It's not a dupe, it's the 64 bit bus sending the same 32 bit information, doubled up along the bus. It's just looks like it's posted twice. It's much more efficient this way. Trust us!
