lets be honest hear no new OS is for all user they are slowly assimilated into the system. 128 bit with start out with large organizations and then over time move to games before ever seeing the general user. i predict a 5 year gap before we even see a desktop CPU that 128 bit maybe a server CPU by then but thats it.

MS dumping 32-bit definitely will lead to people dumping MS. If somebody at Microsoft has a brain, it’s not going to happen.

Wow. It only took until June for someone with a brain to post the obviously flaws in this article.

It’s about as vague as it can get. Atari Jaguar was “128-bit” and so was Apple G4’s Velocity Engine.

Shoot, my SSL is 128-bit.

This article is completely useless.

Macs Suck Testicals, Whats the big deal if they build windows 8 from scratch instead of building off windows 7, is it a big deal?

*facepalm, most of you are confusing register size for data path. x86-32 to x86-64 was to increase the data width on the processors and physical addressable memory. IA64 to IA128 is completely different. IA64 uses VLIW(very large instruction words) to execute multiple opcodes in parallel. Addressable memory and opcode length aren’t increased in IA128, only the amount of opcodes that can be slotted into the processor are doubled. Windows 8 128bit support is for the 128bit Itanium architecture that’s been avalible for a while now, consumers who use x86-based systems will not see pure 128bit processors in windows 8.

“PS3 is already 128-bit,” no it isn’t. It’s a 64 bit core with 128bit vector registers. Since SSE came out in x86 processors there has been 128-bit registers for SIMD. Even 32-bit cores have 128bit registers in them, it doesn’t make them 128-bit processors.

people it’s waste talking within our selves let us wait for the big guys(the microsoft & the manufactures)to to answer because when win vista showed up it’s face of compactablity issue people thought the rest of microsoft’s os will have this same issue but win7 gave a little relif so like wise let us wait for the big guys to open there mouth
