Story: Benchmarks: Intel's 64-bit Pentium 4 660

"64-bit computing [...] won't be a huge deal for the majority of users right away"?
Well, I'm writing this on an AMD64 laptop running pure 64 bit Linux, using a pure 64 bit version of Firefox. And I have several hundred pure 64 bit applications installed. The above may be true for the majority, but to the millions of Linux users worldwide 64 bit desktops have been a reality for a long time. I'm happy to finally see a desktop AMD clone from Intel. Competition in the 64 bit desktop/laptop scene is going to benefit us all.
And to clarify something that many people wonder about - Yes, Intel's EM64T technology is a 100% compatible clone of AMD64 (except for the 3DNow* component)
