What this tells me is that AMD has much more to lose than Intel. 64-bit applications are all pretty recent, so they don't suffer from the legacy support problems that make 32-bit support required. If Intel can't make x86-64 CPUs, they can use their own 64-bit architecture and carry on. If AMD can't make x86 CPUs, they're dead.

Intel may well use their own 64 bit tech(ia-64) but then they lose x86 compatibility. Would you buy a cpu that couldn't run any of your apps/games?
