Re: Sorry, Itanium sucks
Actually ARM64 is a totally independent ISA, unlike x86-64, so you can drop 32 bit mode entirely if you want. Which Apple did in the A11.
Like I said, its not perfect, but it is so much better than x86-64 or IA64 its like comparing brownies made with chocolate with those made with dirt substituted for the chocolate. They're both edible, but one them you will only eat if you're really hungry.
