Intel VIL bruge 64-bit udvidelser til deres processorer, det har Intels præsident nu bekræftet. Dermed er lang tids spekulationer om "Yamhill" teknologien nu bekræftet, men 64-bit udvidelserne til Intels processorer, kommer først når Microsoft er klar med et styresystem der understøtter disse. Hvorvidt Intels 64-bit udvidelser vil være kompatible med AMD64, er der nogen tvivl om, men der er nok ingen tvivl om at der vil være en bitter pille at sluge for Intel, at de må følge efter AMD.
