    Intel said the exact same thing about Pentiums when they were introduced.

    "Pentiums are for servers. Desktop users should stick with 486." they
    said. We all know how long that lasted. The only diffence was there
    then there was a lot of clamor from users (mostly gamers) for
    Pentium desktops. I don't know how much current gamers care about
    IPF, AMD-64, or 64 bits in general.
