Re: Why is the infrastructure so early? It looks like AMD wants to have a full blown 64 infrastructure available at shipping, including a fully developed Windows X86-64 and Linux X86-64, 64 bit drivers for video cards, 64-bit drivers for network cards, etc. It will take time for all those pieces to come together. If it is all together by the end of the year, AMD will have established a lock on the mainstream 64-bit computing platform. By the end of the year, 32-bit processors like Athlon, Athlon MP, P4, and Xeon be relegated to the entry level of their various segments - who will want to spend more than pocket change for an old-style 32-bit processor? Remember how dramatic the shift to 32-bits was (for anything except "value" processors) when Intel came out with the 386?
