Intel to support 64-bit instructions in Xeon line

Now it is official. 64-bit with the appearance of an extended instruction set in Intel's Xeon line and with AMD's 64-bit Opteron and Athlon product line, 64-bit is ready for the masses.

Graig Barett at IDF just announced an extended instruction set for the Xeon processor. COOL.

    Thats nice files nails and yawns but customers wont support Intel anymore.

    What we need is a 3rd player in the CPU market.

    IBM with PPC and / or China and its Dragon CPU.

    Im all for a little competition especially when I will be the winner from it all :D

    My main concern is that AMD do not have a sufficient number of OEM's supporting the chip. They will wait for Intel to come along with a solution which might take 2 years to catch up.
