I never knew that they had

They already have them.
All the Pentium D, Core Duo, and Core 2 Duo models can run in 64-bit mode, but are mainly 32-bit processors. Intel originally tried to push their Itanium CPUs years ago, and when the first ones finally came out, they were a huge failure. The biggest problem was their performance, but the other was that they were only 64-bit and weren't backwards compatible with 32-bit. While this seems like a good idea, the market didn't respond well to it. AMD released their Opterons and Athlon 64s that could do both crushing Intel's dominance in the 64-bit world. Intel was forced to concede and follow AMD's move releasing the CPUs I listed above.

What is cman talking about? 32bit + 32bit DOES NOT EQUAL 64bit. LOL. It doesn't work that way...!

Instead of making 64 bit processors, Intel is now making dual core processors, so it is essentially a 64 bit processor (32 +32 = 64)

Isn't Itanium already is? Everyone else is going 64.

they have made it already in some p4 and all pent dual and VIIV... but its not turned on... you can turn it on... but it will risk in a processor brun up or "meltdown"
