Instead would they not be going to the new 64 bit intel chip. I
thought that
was an entirely new type of chip and not a progresion of th x86 line.
Itanic is 64 bit and entirely different.
However in the last couple of years AMD has developed a 64 bit
extension to x86 (AMD64), which they are selling int he very very nice
Opteron and Athlon 64 lines of CPUs.
Intel has been forced to cave in and produce compatible Pentium 4's
with AMD's 64 bit instruction set, although Intel calls it something
different. The Pentium 4 in Apple's developer systems has the 64 bit
extensions, and so does the new Pentium M that Apple is thought to be
waiting for.
