Will Intel Ship an x86-64bit Chip This Year?
Solid Paradox writes "According to The Register, American Technology Research predicts an x86-64-bit processor will 'soon' arrive from Intel and in another story, they also predict that Sun and IBM will be the major players in the future 64-bit boom. Meanwhile the Inquirer has a somewhat related article entitled Senior Intel PR man talks 64-bit extension talk, which follows their Pentium V will launch with 64-bit Windows Elements article that says that the chip is to be sampled internally this month."
What? We've just moved most of our workstattions from Athlon XP to Pentium 4 because of poor application support for AMD.
AMD are making excellent products, but fear, laziness and general inertia are keeping Intel in front just like they're keeping Microsoft in front. I wish it would change but my experience suggests otherwise.
That was classic intercourse!
