SSXeon

Well damn, guess we don't need to wait for the chips to actually be released or anything since we have SSXeon here to see the future for us.

Paul Otellini, Intel's president, recently said that Intel will not be implementing any form of 64-bit extensions to the IA32 instruction set - neither AMD's nor one of Intel's own creation. It was during a speech at the June 19th SIA Technology Management Conference in which he demostrated Madison (the third member of the Itanium processor family).

Edit: Forgot that Paul got a promotion back in June from COO to president. Thanks for the subtle hint Wingz.

SSXeon

Oh please

Trying to predict which processor will be on top 6-8 months from now is very foolish at best. We won't know which CPU will be faster until they're both out and are compared head-to-head, any speculation before that is just that.

(Intel president, Paul) Otellini said Intel is not planning chips that can handle both 32-bit and 64-bit code."

Hey, get yourself a pair of rose-colored glasses, and you can see anything!

(Some people were even able to see the Willamette beating the Palomino with a pair of those babies.

Thanks for the official info. I couldn't find a link.
