Avids coming out with 128 bit?

Any idea when this will be?
I need more processing power for my 360 plug ins.

It will come out about the time other DAWs are moving to 256-bit. So either make music now or wait until the next big thing followed by the next next big thing...etc.

Okay, thanks.

Are there any other advantages/benefits to 64 bit other then access to more RAM?

in theory a single 64 bit instruction cycle is equivlant to 2 cycles of 32 bit instruction

so in a very rough example: a 2 GHz chip running 64 bit code is the same computational power as 4 GHz chip running 32 bit

Hah, I wish :)

[Craig F]

yeah, in reality we don't get much

It does end, at least for me.
Windows 7 64 bit can adress 192GB of ram and the technical roof for a 64 bit OS is 2^64 = 18446744073709551616 = 16 777 216 TB RAM
So i would be able to use 1000000 + instances of any VI out there =) if PT was a 64 bit application. But now i can only use 1 or maybe 2 instances of Trilian.

Could you turn up the bass for me on channel 683,026. It's a little light...
