The basic x64 patents were close to expiring at the time and may have expired by now. I suspect they were waiting for that to happen before releasing 64 bit support.

With the size of modern chips the instruction set has very little to do with an overall chip design. Most of it is a balancing act between power, performance and area for things like caches, controllers, optimizations, accelerators and so o
