The 64-bit platform processes more data per clock cycle, allows greater access to memory, and speeds numeric calculations. Similar 64-bit operating systems have been available on the Unix platform for years, and Microsoft is playing catch-up."

The idea is to work with AMD's PowerNow! platform to automatically adjust system power consumption when the chip is not running on all cycles. The new mobile chips also run at 30 percent less power consumption than AMD's desktop Athlon 64 processor, the company said".
