In the long run is it good that AMD made a 32/64 bit chip? Personally I wish that intel would have been able to design a new modern 64 bit chip which didnt have to have support for old x86 instructions. Thus making a faster and more effcient PC.
Granted you might not be able to have backwards compatability even with emulators but I would rather have something which is the best it can be and not held back.
Will we ever get a new modern chip or is it too late? it feels like an excellent opprtunity was missed.
