Will Half-Life 2 have any special optimizations for 64-bit processors?
Gabe Newell: I would expect we would run about 30% faster clock for clock comparing an Athlon running 32-bit code and an Athlon 64 running 64-bit code. Release of the 64-bit client will be gated on MS releasing 64-bit Windows.
You can check out the rest of the article Here! It's well worth the Read.
