It means pointer width.
Where did you get that from? Because that’s false, please show me dokumentation for that.
64 bit always meant the ability to handle 64 bit wide instructions, and because the architecture is 64 bit, the pointers INTERNALLY are 64 bit, but effectively they are only for instance 40 bit when accessing data.
Your claim about pointer width simply doesn’t make any sense.
That the CPU should be called by a single aspect they can’t actually handle!!! That’s moronic.
