I'm confused by this...isn't the pentium 4 a 32-bit processor??
Why is the AMD 64 competing in the 32-bit market?

(Been out of the CPU loop awhile)


Their competing in the desktop/workstation market, which happens to be 32bit. Do you want to stay at 32bit for ever? Someone has to come in and make a stand!

The only current 64bit chips are not for normal use, either workstation or servers. AMD are competing with intel, i dont see what it has to do with them being either 32bit or 64bit.

Please note, they also have other 64bit chips aimed at other things besides the desktop.
