So much mis-information in this thread.

Dont confuse the 64 servers with 64 pc cpus.

I have also heard that intel has had their 64bit pc cpu ready for months, they just didnt want to have to drop the prices on thier lameduck p4 line before they really needed to. Now that amd is about ready, to release their 64bit cpu, expect the silence treatment from intel to end.

Intel has always been a bit better than amd performance wise. For a long while, they were marginally faster and substantially more expensive. Lately, they are widening the gap in performance and closing the gap in price. I hope amd can get a bit more competitive with the new chips. Just to keep intel honest.
