Not only that, but Intel's Atom processor (at least some versions) doesn't support 64-bit code, and when booted with EFI, runs in a 32-bit environment. This processor is pretty common in smaller systems.mallard wrote: I personally also believe that supporting 32-bit x86 is still worthwhile; 32-bit only x86 CPUs aimed at "consumer" markets are still being manufactured by the likes of VIA and are still very common in second-hand equipment in less "developed" areas of the world.
