I'm apparently the only person on the planet that thinks this is a possibility Not at all, I agree with you. My reasoning is different. - To make Prescott a full 64 bit CPU Intel would have had to start work on it three years ago. - They would have to be discussing the instruction set with compiler writers a couple of years ago. - Initial samples to OEMs a year ago. It would be impossible to keep all that completely quiet. So whatever they have done in Prescott has to be a lot smaller development effort and requiring less testing. If I were Intel I would have come up with the smallest possible change to Prescott that could be labelled as "64-bit" and then let my formidable marketing team go to work.
