Zed is a modern open-source code editor, built from the ground up in Rust with a GPU-accelerated renderer.

Have you really not heard of it? It is a new architecture that is a bit better than x64_64.
Finally. 65 bit processor.
x86_64++
Plus ultra!

only if double precision can be called high fyves
This is a mandatory rule now.
