News Roundup: Champing at the 64-bit
It's been a long wait, but lower-cost 64-bit computer chips are now starting to appear, and could even come to handheld devices
64-bit computing is the next big thing -- or at least it is for some of the biggest chip companies out there. Intel is pushing out the long -- very long -- awaited Itanium chip this summer, with first workstations and then servers to appear throughout the year. Meanwhile, the UK's ARM Holdings is looking to use 64-bit technologies in future generations of chips powering handhelds like mobile phones and palmtop computers. Read the latest from ZDNet UK.
