SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Intel Corp. (INTC.O: Quote, Profile, Research)
President and Chief Operating Officer Paul Otellini on Wednesday said the
world's largest chip maker would likely give its 32-bit microprocessors an
upgrade to 64 bits once supporting software becomes available.

"You can be fairly confident that when there is software from an application and
operating system standpoint that we'll be there," Otellini said, responding to a
question about 64-bit technology, in an interview with a Wall Street analyst
that was broadcast over the Web.

Otellini's comments represented Intel's strongest endorsement yet of a
technological advance first introduced by rival Advanced Micro Devices Inc.
(AMD.N: Quote, Profile, Research) , said Nathan Brookwood, a technology analyst
with Insight 64.
