x86-64 Insights

What is x86-64?

x86-64 is a 64-bit extension of the x86 instruction set architecture. It significantly expands the amount of virtual and physical memory that the system can address compared to its 32-bit predecessors. It is commonly used in modern desktop computers, laptops, and servers due to its ability to handle large amounts of RAM and its backward compatibility with older x86 software.
