Yes if by 64-bit you mean the extension to the old x64 ISA. Intel  
fledged that onto the Pentium IV, whereas the Core chips are  
successors to the Pentium M.

But Intel has their own non-x86 64-bit architecture which has failed  
to gain much success so far. But the Itanium II looks much better  
than the first release and the compilers seem to be getting into gear  
as well.
