intel 64 bit chip

When will intel come out with a 64 bit processor? I am excited about the prescot, but will it be 32 or 64 bit? And does anybody know if the prescot will be out this time next year? And does anyone know what the clockspeed of processor will most likely be this time next year?

The first chips will be able to support both 32-bit and 64-bit applications. Until everyone starts designing there products to use the 64-bit extension, having a 64-bit chip won't be any better than having a 32-bit one. That includes a 64-bit version of windows which I think is out now.

Here is some nes that came out today (may 14)Next Intel CPU Will Hit 64 Bits
