“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.”


Quote #2

“The 32-bit/64-bit compatibility we get with the AMD Opteron processor means we can move some 32-bit applications to 64-bit over time, if the nature of these problems would benefit from the larger memory spaces we can address.”
