    Anyone know what the deal is with Intel releasing a mobile 64-bit processor?

    I know they have the Mobile Pentium 4 but I was under the impression they were looking to release a 64-bit Pentium M sometime soon.

    Cheers.

    It is supposed to be released later by the end of the year or maybe early next year. There are no specific launch dates yet, but most estimats are that they will release by the end of the year.

    As miner said. And to add, the AMD Turion Dual core 64bit is "expected" before Intel's. That's if both stick to their schedule

    Cool, thanks!

    Any word on performance expectations?

    I'm looking to get a notebook in the near future and am considering getting something with either an AMD Turion 64 or Mobile Athlon 64 if Intel doesn't get their ass in gear.

    I'm curious to see how the Pentium M 64-bit processor stacks up to the AMD line.
