64 bit ASSEMBLY OPCODES baby!! YEA!

Well, suppose you made a super RISC load/store architecture where you had, eg 65536 integer and 65536 floating point registers, you could easily have 64-bit opcodes. 16-bits for the instruction and up to 16-bits each for each register definition :lol:

Ew! Just imagine the length of the context switches between tasks!
