I agree with your assessment that no x86-64 (or Intel substitute) in Prescott is good news for AMD. The rest of Prescott, especially 0.09µ may be on track for mid 2003, but Intel couldn't get x86-64 ready on time for that. I think it's way to late for Intel to come up with its own x86-64 and expect to have any software support a year from now.

So I don't see any version of x86-64 available from Intel until 2004, probably first for Xeon Prescott and later for desktop.

OTOH, I expect a 0.09µ Prescott will close that gap in performance on 32 bit applications vs. the Hammer desktops if it's truly ready by mid '03.
