"64-bit chips can do 64EiB"
Not actually true as far as I know. For example, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64#Physical_address_space_details for an assertion that it was limited to 48-bits back in 2010. The preceeding paragraphs (on the virtual address space) also assert that the 48-bit limit is baked into the AMD64 spec. 48 bits is 256TB, so we are now within two orders of magnitude of being able to put a moby in an x64 machine.
