      INTEL DEVELOPER FORUM CONFERENCE, SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 21, 2003 -- Intel Corporation today announced the new successor for the Itanic 2 processor, named "Unobtainium".

      This highly advanced clone of a 64-bit processor of an unnamed competitor is the first to combine a competitor's technology with the outstanding features of Intel processors, namely lots of Gigahertz, and lots of heat. The Unobtainium has been especially designed to be used on expeditions on Antarctica, always keeping expedition members in a bubble of hot air.

      Intel, the world's largest chip maker, is a leading manufacturer of computer, networking and communications products. Additional information about Intel is available at www.intel.com/pressroom.

      Say for instance here in Japan where the geeks are all viewing slashdot through a 12MBit ADSL connection....and it's just now 6pm...let the peak usage period begin.

      Yes, yes, I have a 12MBit ADSL connection; now who wants to touch me? ... I SAID WHO WANTS TO F*@#ING TOUCH ME?

    ...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!

    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.

    The reason you keep losing at UT isn't because your processor is too slow.
