Intel's 64-bit Pentium 4 660
The Pentium 4 6xx-series sees Intel finally entering 64-bit desktop CPU market. The new chips also offer improved power management (EIST) and memory overflow protection (XD bit).
AMD has led the 64-bit desktop processor field up to now with the Athlon 64 -- although there is, as yet, no shipping 64-bit Windows operating system, which is necessary to make the most of a 64-bit CPU. However, at the beginning of February Microsoft made Release Candidate 2 of Windows XP Professional x64 Edition available to testers, and the final version is due to ship at the beginning of April.
