The "Real" definition is now a "generic" type, as shown in Table 4. "Real" in Delphi 4/5 is equivalent to "Double." The "Extended" type offers greater precision than other real types but is less portable — the IEEE "Double" has the most precision that is a defined standard for all platforms. Be careful using Extended if you are creating data files to share across platforms. The Double type is adequate for most scientific and engineering calculations, so the new "Real" can be used for most calculations. Since the Double is 64-bits long, performance with the 64-bit processors in the near future will probably be faster with doubles than with the 80-bit extended values.
