Well it looks like those Athalon 64 users will have some 64 bit cousins in the near future. The EETimes is running an article that says that Intel's 64 bit processor, a modified P4 Prescott, is now being shipped with IBM's new eServer xSeries.

| The 64-bit Intel Xeon — formerly code-named Nancona — is a hybrid 32/64 bit CPU, which can run both 32- and 64-bit software via a set of 64-bit instruction-set extensions. The 64-bit version of Prescott, which had only been hinted at previously, was expected to be a desktop chip. Now, Intel says it's positioned as a server part for OEMs. |
Well it looks like the Athalon 64 will reign supreme in the desktop market for a short while longer. For the full article click over here. |
