If true, the reports would indicate that additional Intel projects could be in doubt--namely "Potomac" and "Tulsa" in the Xeon family, and "Cedarmill" for the desktop. Most of the models delayed and/or slated for cancellation weren't due to come to market for several months, so little immediate damage in the marketplace is likely.
The rearranging of Intel's processor alignment comes after Microsoft's Bill Gates, this week, said that 64-bit PC computing will be mainstream in two years. Intel competitor Advanced Micro Devices has two 64-bit PC families on the market; Intel will soon have 64-bit PC entries, too. Intel's 64-bit Itanium has, to date, addressed the market segment beyond PCs.
Brookwood, who is principal analyst at Insight64, said the 64-bit market has been somewhat slow to take off what with the release of Microsoft's XP 64-bit Extended Systems now scheduled for introduction in the fourth quarter. He said the release of the software has been held up by concerns over security issues. When the software does come, however, Brookfield urged users to test it out on both AMD and Intel 64-bit processors in order to make their own decisions.
