Intel is introducing significant changes to its product roadmap in the near future. Processors that include Intel's Hyper-Thread Technology have dramatically increased 32 bit processor performance, and Intel recently announced the addition of 64-bit extensions to its 32-bit processor family. Intel also continues to develop its native 64-bit Itanium processor family. This paper provides a roadmap for these processors and details some of the more important upcoming changes as they affect industry-standard enterprise servers.
