Leon spotted an Akiba report on 64-bit P4 CPUs appearing for sale in Tokyo. The subtitle says "Incorperating EM64T (64bit) Pentium 4's have finally hit the shelves for retail sales.

Theres a few pics on the page, interesting black and white boxes, shows the barcode and info on the side, etc. Only other interesting part is the bottom line which reads something along the lines of "With the release of the new 64bit P4's there is growing agreement that the release of the 64bit Windows is being pressured for release".
