Comdex Fall 2002 - AMD demos 64-bit Unreal Tournament

In what is probably one of the biggest announcements today from Comdex, AMD demonstrated its Athlon 64 processor running a 64-bit version of Unreal Tournament 2003. All signs are pointing towards a first quarter release of the 64-bit processor, at least according to Mike Magee over at the INQ.

The only question is when we'll see Athlon 64s show up on retail shelves. Official dates are talking about the first quarter next year. Chipset firms at Computex in Taiwan were talking about the end of Q1 next year.
