(you need to register a free account to get it)
The brand new instruction encoding is super clean and it seems to be a very very good ISA in every way we care about. Hard to guess the performance improvement but writing a JIT for this will be a joy.
My guess is that Android Kitkat will be released for these 64-bit CPUs, waiting with anticipation...
