I noticed Advanced Micro Devices dropped the 64-bit label from the following processors (and others as well):

Athlon X2 5800 Brisbane 65 nanometer 89 Watt

Athlon X2 4850e Brisbane 65 nanometer 45 Watt

Does this mean these processors cannot handle a 64-bit operating systems? Why did AMD do this? Is it just assumed all modern processors are able to handle 64-bit operating systems?
 
No, they are 32/64bit processors. I dont think they even make 32bit Sempron processors anymore. They didnt put 64 in the Phenom series either, so the newer Athlons got the 64 dropped too. But yeah, because they are all 64bit now.
