Hi everybody, There is a strange downloading problem with a new version of 'Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures Optimization Manual' at: http://www.intel.com/content/dam/doc/manual/64-ia-32-architectures-optimization-manual.pdf A process of downloading of the manual stops (!) when ~6.64MB out of 6.91MB is downloaded. I tried to download the document a couple of times without success. Best regards, Sergey

Sergey, I can download it right now. You might try a different browser? I used Chrome. Thanks, Roman

I can download without any problems.

>>... can download it right now. You might try a different browser? I use IE version 8.0.6001.18702 but I don't think it is related to the browser. Is it possible that it is related to some timeout? Anyway, I'll try again.

Was it a temporary issue perhaps? I doubt it's something about timeouts becasue the download time is just a few seconds...

Hi Dmitry, >>...Was it a temporary issue perhaps? I doubt it's something about timeouts... I think so and everything is fine now. Best regards, Sergey

>>...a new version of 'Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures Optimization Manual'... In my archive of Intel manuals I have a 1997, 2007 and now 2012 versions of 'Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures Optimization Manual'. The 2012 version is the best one and I really like it. Three new chapters related to SSE4.2, AVX and Atom CPU are added.

1997? Wow! We probably need to make a better promotion of this whitepaper.

>>...1997, 2007 and now 2012 versions of 'Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures Optimization Manual'... It is very interesting to see evolution of the document: 1997 - 150 pages 2007 - 512 pages 2012 - 800 pages

A yet another prove of Moore's law? ;)

>>...I have a 1997, 2007 and now 2012 versions... Unfortunately, Intel doesn't keep older versions of manuals online. Where else a software / hardware engineer could look for some legacy stuff that is more than 5 or 10 years old? So, it would be nice to have a web-page with all versions of manuals.
