Intel Begins Shipping 64-bit Prescotts

Posted by CowboyNeal on Thursday August 5, 2004 @02:48PM from the unheralded-releases dept.

Rucas writes "With a minimum of fanfare, Intel has begun shipping a version of the Pentium 4 with 64-bit instruction set extensions. The news came to light not via an Intel press release, but rather through the spec sheet for a new server from IBM. In the midst of the new IBM eServer xSeries servers based on the recently released 64-bit Xeon is a blade server powered by the 64-bit Prescott. This marks the first product appearance of the new CPU."

If intel gets their faster 64bit processors out now, will my lower class athlon 64 3000+ be obsolete sooner?

EM64T is not x86_64 or 64bit extensions. It is an on-chip hack to allow it to address more than 4Gigs of memory.
