People i hate to tell you but Intel didnt cause us to be stuck in x86 you can thank AMD for that becuase they decided to release the amd athlon x64 which was backwards compatible with x32. Intel was trying to push 64bit on with Itanium which was pure 64bit with no native support for x86 support but when AMD did this it forced Intel to abandon there plan and move forward with the x64bit instruction set for x86. Otherwise we would all be in a dif. instruction set as it sits right now. And this is coming from the guys at Intel that designed these things. i used to work in the eval lab at Intel in Portland and that was there plan around the P4 era when they were just releasing the itanium they had something else up there sleeve for the desktop space but scrapped it for fear it would fail due to AMD. So you can thank AMD for all this X86 crap. end rant
Now back to the subject at hand Intel spends more money in R&D than most chip manufactures make in profits so if they decide to do something they have the funds to throw at. If they want to they can trust me.
