In a surprising move (I do remember Intel saying that 64-bit wasn't yet ready for the desktop market), Intel will start offering Pentium 4 processors with EM64T support
Linky
I guesstimate that the performance will still be the same when dealing with 32bit apps for the new intel cores. I'm curious how much would each cpu gain (performance wise) when switching to the full 64bit path and making use of the extra registers...
If we didn't have AMD... things would look a lot less prettier today! 8)
