What is the AMD64 sales volume and percentage, and how many percents of
all PC-compatibles are AMD64?
What will it be in 1, 2 or 4 years?

It will be necessary to know, so I will know how long time I have got to
make 64-bit support, and make existing code 64-bit clean.

I have not yet found any AMD64 that has been phased out and thrown away.
(I am not buying a couple of new PCs that are going to be rebooted like
a yo-yo in periods (this comes in addition to a development machine)).
