64Bit Processor

[Brody8877]

I know AMD 64 are 64 bits processor, but do Intel make 64bit processor too?

Is the prescott P4 processor 64bit ready?

They will be, but they are not available yet. I'm not sure if Intel has indicated whether they'll be releasing a Desktop 64bit processor, so far it's just a Xeon.

One day all processors will be 64-bit. Then they'll be 128-bit. But for now Intel only makes 32-bit processors.

intel recently released their 64 bit version of the prescott. I really dont know if its avaliable yet but it will be soon.

I'd wager.. volume release Q2 next year.. meanwhile they'll just release a "look-we-have-64-bit-too-so-don't-buy-amd-but-you-can't-afford-it-anyway" cpu.

Bzzzzzzt! That hasn't been true for a long time.

Nice to know that at least somebody sees right through intel's marketing.

yeah it's called Itanium2. You should have said "For now Intel only sells 32 bit processors"
