Intel Corp. on Friday sent its clients a document claiming that starting from June, 10, 2005, the company would supply Intel Pentium 4 500-series processors with 64-bit capability. The company advices partners to make sure Extended Memory 64 Technology is supported by BIOS of mainboards that are planned to be used by them at that time.

Intel’s lineup of EM64T- and EDB-enabled Intel Pentium 4 processors 500-series will consist of models 571, 561, 551, 541, 531 and 521, which are clocked at 3.80GHz, 3.60GHz, 3.40GHz, 3.20GHz, 3.00GHz and 2.80GHz respectively. The new chips will substitute Intel Pentium 4 models 570, 560, 550, 540, 530 and 520 on the market, the world’s largest chipmaker indicated. The new microprocessors will be equipped with 1MB of L2 cache, designed to be drop-in compatible with LGA775 infrastructure with 800MHz processor system bus and will retain thermal specs similar to predecessors. It is unclear whether the forthcoming chips will have any additional changes compared to the original Intel Pentium 4 500-series products.

Pricing of the new 64-bit chips is expected to be similar to that of Intel Pentium 4 500-series processors. Currently the model 570J is priced $637, while the model 520J costs $163 in 1000-unit quantities. On the 30th of June, 2005, the chip giant is expected to slash the prices on a wide range of its products.
