Interview with Otellini:

Q: What is your reaction to IBM, Oracle, and Microsoft pledging support for AMD’s 64-bit chip Opteron? Also, what are Intel’s plans on taking the 64-bit to the desktop, given AMD and Apple’s announcement that they will deliver 64-bit computing to desktop-users by the year-end?

A: We have been working on the 64-bit architecture for nearly a decade and are about to introduce our third-gen silicon as the world’s fastest computer—for transaction processing. This is only going to get better and we will pick that up to a factor of 10 over the next two years. Also, the architecture is much better in terms of scalability. There’s a lot more to enterprise computing and supercomputing than 64 bits… But it’s back and we’re very happy with where it is and where it’s going.

But really, there’s really no need to have 64-bit on the desktop, at least not in the foreseeable future. No other application takes advantage of it. One exception would be workstations and we have Itanium there. At some point of time, applications and OSs on desktops will require 64-bit addressability and memory prices will come down enough so that you can afford 64-bit on your desktop. At that point of time, expect Intel to be the player in this space.
