When I said that the 64 bit instruction code will be the final one I meant that
to desribe an instruction you will maximaly use 64 bit (8 byte), this means to
code it. I didn't mean that 64 bit integer & floting values will be the maximum.
For example there are 32 bit code instruction which manupulate 64 bit code (and
more).
4 byte are enough to manupulate over 3 register with few commands. But when you
have 128 registers then 8 byte are enough to manipluate over 7 register.
Of course 128 bit integers are better for the LL-test then 64 bit integers. And
64 bit floating point numers are used very frequently in science cumputation.
But concerning 128 FPU register I don`t know where te special use is, except for
global economics.
