Studio 64
General Technology Visionaries

   
Dr. Robert Ballard
President, Institute for Exploration @ Mystic Aquarium
"64-bit computing is going to revolutionize what we do. We have huge problems of dealing with massive amounts of information and accessing that information, and also using that technology to empower people at home. A lot of places, like research institutions, can afford huge crunchers, and can afford tremendous investment in their technology through their work, but the average person cannot. And what 64-bit technology's going to do is to bring it home to people and empower them to do things that they couldn't do right now." more...

President and Founder of Small Business Network, Inc.

"Bringing 64-bit enabled technologies to the mass market will allow small businesses to harness a higher level of computing power that has, until now, been out of their reach. Previously, only big companies in select industries could afford -- and therefore, be more competitive -- with 64-bit based systems. The affordable availability of the power of 64-bit based systems to small businesses is just another reason why I say this is, and will continue to be, the Century Of The Entrepreneur."

"We're clearly getting to that point at which 4 gigabytes of addressable memory is not enough. If you think about the video industry, it takes about a gigabyte just to store a minute of video, so if you're doing three or four streams of video, that's many, many gigabytes a minute or per second, and so having that increased addressable memory is a huge benefit to us and our customers." more...

"It's not technology that drives markets, it is applications. And a lot of what's been talked about here really is the technology, and the fact is the price point and a very profound application really drove the PC business for years."

Sandia National Laboratories

“64-bit computing has long been the standard mode for many high performance computing applications, but also having the ability to run the body of codes that perform well in single-precision, 32-bit mode is a major advantage. This flexibility built into the AMD Opteron™ processor was a crucial advantage over alternatives available in the market today.” more...

Previsualization Effects Supervisor, JAK Films

"Pre-visualization is the art of visual story telling, and it’s my department’s responsibility to make sure that George Lucas’ ideas get translated so that he knows whether or not his ideas are actually working in a digital sense, in a movie sense. He can take the movies that we create for him early in the process and use them to maintain a higher level of creative control over the entire production process. That way..." more...

"Sandia will be able to run 64- and 32-bit applications on the AMD Opteron™ processors right away. That means they can run 99% of the existing code with just a recompile, and converting 32-bit applications to 64-bit mode won't require a heroic effort."
