In this case, name to be seen by users, I have some strong feelings for
ia64 instead of i64. I thought that's the standard used for the Itanium
architecture. Is there any official or pseudo-official of i64 in the
wild? Short googling didn't reveal anything useful on i64 and Itanium.
I like "i64" because "i" can be read as "Itanium", but I tend to read
"IA" as "Intel Architecture", which becomes misleading. Just my
personal preference. I can be wrong with it.
The 'i64' naming is my fault :)
The reason is unification for x86, x64 and i64 (one letter and two numbers)
Since there is no standard that would define the naming
I've choose that one over things that might be familiar to
unix/linux user, but means nothing to windows users
(Eg. x86_64 is common on linux, but linux only). Other platforms
choose their own namings (I simply adore the Solaris i86pc ;)
