According to industry sources, neither Intel nor AMD will be producing
32-bit chips after next year. I personally see AMD cutting into Intel's
market share on personal systems and low end servers since it is a better
performing chip than Intel's EM64T line. The high-end server market will
see IBM, HP and Sun duke it out.
I assume Ben meant they won't be designing *new* 32-bit chips. Of course
they'll still be manufacturing the existing chips for as long as they
are contractually obligated to.
