AMD's Athlon-64 Benchmarked With UT2003
Sander Sassen writes "Wondering about the performance of AMD's Athlon-64? Want to how well it runs in 64-bit mode? Hardware Analysis managed to run a few benchmarks on a AMD Athlon-64 demo system using the 64-bit version of Epic' Unreal Tournament 2003. There's also an update with the latest about Athlon-64, Opteron and mobile Athlon-64 including streaming video and pictures of a quad Opteron server."
AMD is soon to be followed by Intel with the introduction of the Unobtainium chip.

Who's gonna reach 2048 first, the Microsoft Windows version number, or the AMD bit number?
how to slashdot an innocent server in the dead of night.
...a 64-bit CPU is totally *pointless* unless I can spawn at least 500 bots on a map designed for 7 at playable speeds with it. Telefraging madness!

You're obviously not a real geek. The fact that the streaming video and pictures are of the quad Opteron server made me click. Unfortunately, it is already /.ed.
Hey, I know many of the other comments on this article are going to be filled with haters ripping on AMD and their new chip, but I for one was hella impressed that UT2k3 was running so well under such adverse conditions. Once all the pieces start to fall into place, this could be sweet chip.
I'd like to know if it will run nice and frosty like my AMD 2400+ (plus what? Beats me!)
Any more fans and my computer may levitate. That would be just as cool as a good UT2003 framerate!
The reason you keep losing at UT isn't because your processor is too slow.
I have been pwned because my
>> Sure it will run faster, but do you seriously need that speed?
Sure, just like I needed more than 512K of RAM.

Oh my god,The server is toast!!!
I've worked inside a handful of medium-sized machines
That must have been very cramped for you, even in a medium sized machine. Personally, I prefer to work inside something larger, like a Sun E10K...at least you can sort of stand up and stretch from time to time. I do concede however that working in a smaller system has its advantages from time to time. I remember once when I had to work in a little Compaq Deskpro for 3 months (they were refurbishing the interior of the SGI Origin 3000 that I normally used as an office)...it was pretty uncomfortable, but at least the boss never poked his nose in to disturb my web surfing!
Thank you.

The world moves for love. It kneels before it in awe.
Epic releases UT2003 text mode.
This has the advantage of being playable on all kinds of hardware specifications, from a measly 8086 to AMD's flagship AMD 64...
