Processors don’t typecast. Please stop talking.
Which is why it's such a pain, because you have to do it manually:

the “X-bit” marker is essentially dead,
That was kind of the point, it's ridiculous to think a modern CPU hasn't evolved dramatically since the introduction of mainstream 64 bit in 2003.
It's still called 64 bit, but there are so many developments.
for most people, who just care about “IPC”
Exactly, and that is achieved by a modern core operating at about 256 bit internally, to achieve faster execution.
I'm not arguing it's wrong to call it 64 bit, because there is no "true" bit width to call it. So we might as well still call it 64 bit, because it describes the core instruction set. (not just pointers as was claimed by someone else) My point was just that it doesn't really describe the dramatic development of the CPU as a whole, and even the individual cores are more complex in hardware, despite the main instruction set remains the same.
It's a good thing nobody is suspecting he is suffering from cognitive decline or dementia, because this could make such suspicions worse. 😋
I'm just wondering how Trump thought it was relevant to his policies?
So it did when he declared he was in love with Kim Jong UN.
To be fair the Dimensity 9400 is a marvel, the 3nm process and all the technologies in a modern SOC contain more know how and research than sending people to the moon.
So in a way it's sort of equivalent to having your own personal moon rocket.
The cumulative level of expertise required to make a modern SOC is mind blowing. Just imagine aligning multiple masks with nanometer precision! Just a "simple" thing as the light source required is so sophisticated a single "lamp" cost about $300 million USD!! The quantum theory principles used to make the motion sensors, the massive design and logistics behind the development of the billions of logic gates.
IMO this modern SOC is the "biggest" world wonder humanity has created yet. Who would have imagined it would be so small?
OK that's a good point.
Everything you write is true, but the most important thing is that it's not supposed to be like that in a democracy. It all boils down to the system in USA being flawed.
Taiwan is not a member of Interpol, widely believed to be due to opposition from Beijing, which objects to its inclusion in international organizations whose members are normally countries.
Fuck China.
Because USA is a flawed democracy. No more explanation needed.
So you just made another one...

"floating-point pointers" is not a thing:
No it's not:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_conversion
You don't even have a clue, you are just talking trash.
In assembly you don't generally talk about pointers, but address modes. Like register, immediate or memory (indirect).
Have you ever actually been programming any serious assembly? Because you sure don't sound like it.
