Interesting article on FiringSquad

Link to article.

Having read the above article, I must admit that dual-core processors, with one core for x86 and one core for a new architecture, does sound promising; it's certainly an easier way around the problem of backwards compatability and writing for an entirely different architecture.

Who knows what the future holds

Hopefully the people developing new technology/hardware know what the future holds.

It is exciting though, to think about what is gonna come out in my lifetime.

Very true; I cast my memory back to my first PC, which had a K6/233, and now look at the overclocked 2600+ that runs my machine, and I'm shocked at just how far we've come. Everything for the PC has improved with a huge order of magnitude, and I've no doubt that things will change massively over the next few years.

Should be interesting

How big is that freakin image you linked to? Its taking forever to load (probably just a bad connection to the site or something...).

yea i remember those ugly days when intel gouged like crazy. ugly times.... i buy amd now..gotta keep it a contest.

IMO, that article is clueless troughout.
Statements about AMD vs Intel competition and history, are not accurate for one thing.
But, - this is my point - people who are assuming x86/x86-64 needs some kind of complete replacement, or assume that there are any gains in a such replacement, are wrong.

I think the 'Farcry 2.0' picture is a very good representation of what is to come over the next years....
