[NEWS] Intel x64 coming

[Handruin]

It's official now. Intel has told about it's plans to introduce x64 in upcoming processors at IDF.

As to compatibility with AMD x64? "For the most part...."

Will Windows for AMD 64 work with Intel 64?

This is getting interesting.

I'm sure that it'll be a hack, just like most of Intel's recent processors.

LOL!

Of course it will be slower than the previous model, but become faster after 1.5 years, after a few modifications on the production lines (90nm -> 10nm)...
