 | caliswimguy (0) 01/06/2005 | Intel began buy toting it off as the next step for desktop processors and it was supposed to replace the archaic x86 architecture, but since it was expensive, hard to program for, and couldn't run 32-bit x86 software, it invariably lost to the AMD64 standard (or as Intel calls it the x86-64 extensions). Now its basicly an overpriced, 64-bit server processor with few applications and software that still gets beat by high-end Opteron's.
