Both Intel and AMD last week rolled out high-powered 64-bit processors. Intel introduced two Itanium 2 dual-processor chipsets for technical computing and front-end edge, security and enterprise ...

The chip maker licenses MIPS Technologies' 64-bit architecture, enabling it to design processors for next-generation mobile devices ...

AMD's key OEM customers, including Sun, HP and IBM, showcased ground-breaking, dual-core platforms based on the non-disruptive AMD64 technology, the world's leading x86, 64-bit computing environment.

AMD executives asserted that the chipmaker will be the first company to offer both 64-bit ARM and x86 server processors.

And it may succeed. The AMD Opteron A1100 series -- targeted at servers -- can integrate 8 processor cores and will be one of the first ARM chips to be 64-bit.

Though 32-bit computing is unlikely to disappear any time soon, AMD is betting on wider availability of software for 64-bit processors. A number of software developers involved in the Athlon64 launch ...

The proposed x86S CPU architecture from Intel would ditch support for 32-bit apps and operating systems entirely in favor of 64-bit software, but it could support older apps with virtualization.

The new devices compete against CISC- and RISC-based processors from AMD, IBM, Sun, and others. With its new chips, Intel also appears to be putting the squeeze on AMD and its new Opteron processor, a ...

The result today is that it's very hard not to buy and AMD64-able CPU that'll run a 64-bit OS and software environment, unless you're buying an Intel Centrino notebook computer.

We all know how great Intel's Centrino Duo laptop processor is, but how does it compare to the brand new Turion 64 X2 from rivals AMD?
