No Hammer Time for Intel's Prescott

Next-gen P4 enhancements don't include 64-bit computing

BY TOM MURPHY -- Electronic News, 5/20/2002

At Intel Corp.'s annual analyst meeting two weeks ago, President and COO Paul Otellini hinted that Intel's next-generation processor would come with some enhancements that had not been previously announced.

This vague reference—something Intel has a history of doing—will not include 64-bit computing extensions to the Prescott version of the Pentium 4 processor, a company spokesman told Electronic News last week. Yet that assertion may not completely put to bed the notion that Intel might someday extend its existing lines of 32-bit PC processors to that arena.

...

Intel said that the company's separate 32-bit/64-bit worldview is what its customers are asking for.

But should Hammer catch fire as a best-selling processor and should x86-64-bit applications find mainstream market acceptance, Krewell said he believes Intel could rapidly change its separate worldview and introduce a 32-bit processor with 64-bit extensions.
