Intel proposes x86S, a 64-bit only architecture

https://videocardz.com/newz/intel-proposes-x86s-a-64-bit-only-architecture

The biggest question for moving to a 64bit only arch for PC is what will happen to old applications? Can we still run old games via translation layer or will it simply break all compatibility?

Intel could call that Itanium 2 or iAPX432/2 to make it clear how much chance it has from becoming a future standard
