Intel早已规划出64位的宏伟蓝图,IBM、惠普,康柏也已推出64位芯片,微软和Sun则用行动表明对64位的青睐,Oracle和IBM早已严阵以待,推出相关的数据库软件。这一切似乎都在向我们表明:64位时代即将来临!增强计算能力、增加地址空间,这恐怕是每个IT人士日之所思,夜之所想的事情。但世人往往为俗务所累,在追逐64位潮流的同时,我们还不得不留下一只脚,继续32位未尽之宜。提起64位芯片,我们无法忘记“成也Alphal,败也Alphal”之感叹。的确,我们几乎用了20年的时间才将32位技术从高端系统雕琢成平民产品,并运行于桌面PC之中,面对众多32位应用程序的挽留,我们实在有些迈不开跟随64位的步伐。更何况有些IT经理业已在32位上投入大量人力、物力和财力,本来是打定了“10年不变”的主意。64位的 Intel has long planned a grand blueprint for 64-bit, IBM, Hewlett-Packard, Compaq have also introduced 64-bit chips, Microsoft and Sun have shown the favor of 64-bit, Oracle and IBM have long been vigilant, the introduction of the relevant database software. All this seems to us to show that: 64-bit era is approaching! Increased computing power, increase the address space, I am afraid that every IT person day and night thought of things. But the world is often tired of custom, in the pursuit of the trend of 64 at the same time, we have to leave a foot to continue 32 unfinished. Lift 64-bit chip, we can not forget “as also Alphal, defeat also Alphal” sigh. Indeed, it took almost 20 years for us to craft a 32-bit technology from a high-end system into a civilian product and run it on a desktop PC. We were really stuck with 64-bit applications in the face of numerous 32-bit applications pace of. What’s more, some IT managers have already devoted a great deal of manpower, material resources and financial resources to 32-bit systems. They originally set the idea of ​​“ten years of no change.” 64-bit
