>If Intel really are just planning to bolt an interpreter onto the front of Prescott then its x86-64 mode performance going to suck. AMD will be able to rate Clawhammer's 64 bit mode performance as 10,000+!<

I doubt very much if this is the case. The rumor is that Prescott will have x86-64 mode built in, but probably disabled. Building in x86-64 mode would add less than 5% to Prescott's die size. Intel will have plenty of capacity to accommodate this 5% larger than necessary die size.
