That's not the only piece of misinformation lately. There was the small matter of the suggestion that anyone buying a 32-bit Prescott now would have it magically "enabled" into 64-bit mode at some future date. Of course, Intel has ruled this out.

Intel will eventually transition to Prescott core for Extreme Edition ...

Read more carefully. They are also preparing to launch 130nm Northwoods (not EEs) on LGA-775, presumably due to the disaster that is 90nm Prescott. Those are much higher volume parts than the EE, and they will not have NX.

Of course, the biggest NX/Intel issue of all is probably Dothan's lack of that feature until sometime next year.
