Intel's Otellini drops hints about x86 64-bit chips. Intel Corp.'s President and Chief Operating Officer Paul Otellini delivered one of the company's strongest endorsements for adding 64-bit extensions to the x86 instruction set Wednesday, but Intel still thinks a market for the technology has not arrived.
