Intel have finally enabled the EMT64 extensions <64 - Bit> on their celeron processors giving their budget line an advantage over rival AMDs' 32-bit Sempron

Computex 2005 Intel today formally committed itself to bringing its EM64T 64-bit processing extensions down into the Celeron D line of low-cost desktop chips.

The chips are "shipping in volume" and Intel has "products in the marketplace", the company's joint marketing chief, Anand Chandrasekher, said at Computex 2005, today.

He didn't provide much in the way of detail, however. Intel's internal roadmap, leaked earlier this year, reveal that the chip maker is planning to ship six Celeron Ds with 64-bit processing enabled. At the top of the list is the all-new 351, clocked at 3.2GHz, while the 326, 331, 336, 341 and 346, clocked at 2.53, 2.66, 2.80, 2.93 and 3.06GHz, respectively, supersede the current LGA775 Celeron D line-up, with a '1' added to the model number to indicate the effect on EM64T. Intel is expected to ship a 3.33GHz Celeron D 355 next quarter.

a celeron 64bit? well i thought that the pentium was 64 bit aswell?

The 6xx series P4 is.

woo!!! power to the celeron!! this is a VERY smart move by Intel. ok it wont give them any advantage in the performance market, but computer manufacturers can wave 64bit in fornt of teir customers and watch them drool.

The 6xx series P4 is.

also selected 5** models are <64-bit> -- its kinda random if a 5** model is or not

are you sure?
