If that is the case, the author is making serious mistake. BTW,
I thought the extended addressing is only 36 bit(?)

Correct - the Pentium Pro and later support 36-bit physical addressing. (Actually this was in the original Pentium design but was removed for some reason).

The author obviously made a mistake. There is no "64 bit" Intel chip - although there is the IA64 software emulator. In reality, the demo was probably on an Alpha.
