The dominant microprocessor development company, Intel, has introduced 5 64-bit desktop-level processors, which are now available to consumers.
According to Intel, they are currently shipping the Pentium 4 Processor Extreme Edition 3.73 GHz, which supports Hyper-Threading Technology, as well as four new processors from the Intel Pentium 4 Processor 6xx family. These also support HT technology.
The technology Intel uses in order to bear 64-bit processing is called Extended Memory 64 Technology or EM64T.
Rob Crooke, Intel general manager of Desktop Marketing and Strategic Planning said, "Intel continues to offer new platform features based on what people are actually doing with their PCs, such as using rich media, communicating with friends or family, and being productive in the office. As software for the digital home and office matures and becomes more demanding, desktops with Intel EM64T are well-timed to take advantage of emerging new usage models."
Prices for Intel's new 64-bit family start at $224 for the Pentium 4 630 up to $999 for the Pentium 4 Extreme Edition 3.73 GHz.
