The fun thing about it is that they are using x86 instructions.. that is 32b machine standard.
but they have 8gigs of memory.. so either they have to have a dynamic memory pointer of some sort or some custom instructions that allow them to use all of the memory.


PAE, X86-64... what was your point?


PAE is not even necessary. If it's based on Jaguar, it's a native 64 bits architecture.

 

I know it is not necessary but even if it wasn't PAE is implemented since "ever" in CPUs.


PAE has performance problems and the 4GB per process limit. I'm glad that PAE is not necessary at the consumer level.
