More Quotes from Nathan Brookwood:
If someone came up with a 64-bit desktop application, then AMD would have an advantage, ...

Intel wants to get them out in a hurry. I would assume they have a longer-term plan, probably around 45-nanometer technology, to provide a more comprehensively designed quad-core.
