AMD demonstrated a 64-bit developmental version of Unreal Tournament 2003
from Epic Games on a system based on the upcoming AMD Athlon 64 processor. The
technology demonstration illustrates AMD's commitment to bringing
next-generation, 64-bit computing to the desktop and consumer applications.
We're extremely excited about the upcoming AMD Athlon 64 processor. It's designed to run today's 32-bit games and applications and will actually, clock-for-clock, boost their performance relative to 32-bit AMD Athlon processors. But when you add 64-bits to the picture you can get additional capabilities and other performance boosts," said Mark Rein, vice president, Epic Games Inc. "We're planning to ship a 64-bit update for Unreal Tournament 2003 at the same time the AMD Athlon 64 processors show up on retail shelves."
