My guess is that Intel will do something about the 32-bit memory addressing problem by giving the Pentium line more physical address lines. From the PPro on, Intel processors have had 36 bit addressing. EP

wbmw, you are missing my point. There's really no real current need for 64-bit on the desktop. The reason AMD is doing it is because they hope that will help them get some tier-1 enterprise solutions and because they can't/won't license IA-64 and because it's a good marketing idea. Intel on the other hand will introduce something like x86-64 on the desktop for the sole purpose of antagonizing AMD's solution, making it obsolete and forcing AMD to lose $$$$ and time to emulate Intel's extensions.
