Re: What is better Athlon XP or Athlon 64 ? Binary incompatibilities ?

Which CPU needs less power and hence produces less heat:

Athlon XP or Athon 64 ?

Sorry for this newbie question: Are all programs which run on Athlon XP
able to run on Athlon 64 as well or are there binary incompatibilities ?

Both CPU's exist in low power versions, but overall, the newer processors
yield much more instructions per watt.

There shouldn't be any incompatibilities between Athlon XP optimised code
and the newer CPU's.
