That's why my opinion is that Intel will not do a partial extension, but will stick with IA64 / x86-32 for as long as possible, and when IA64 failure is imminent, they will introduce a full fledged 64 bit x86-64 CPU, either AMD64 compatible or not.

The best of all worlds (IMO) is
1. no Intel x86 64-bit until "IA64 failure is imminent"
2. eventual support of AMD64

(2) is not as important as (1) -- by time Intel thinks Itanium has failed, AMD will have >25% market share

(1) presumes IA64 failure, but AMD could stumble in execution or Intel could come roaring back at 65 nm to prevent it.
