"We're going to ship the 64-bit version of UT2003 at or before the consumer [upcoming AMD]Athlon™ 64 [processor] launch. And our next-generation engine won't just support 64-bit, but will basically REQUIRE it on the content-authoring side."

You can say whatever you want to say, but clearly the first sentence is talking about the GAME ITSELF, not the development environment for the Unreal engine.

So, since a 2 GHz single channel Athlon 64 already beats the vaunted 3.2 GHz Pentium 4 with hyperthreading on Unreal Tournament 2003, why should a gamer buy anything other than AMD?

"Well, Tim Sweeney is talking about the engine content-authoring from the side of the game developer, not the game player."

And you couldn't tell that from the discussion?

Go back and reread http://www.investorshub.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=1188661 with an open mind and a fresh memory.

"I recall a very recent interview with a big game developer (was he from UT or Doom?)" should have been enough to key the core concept for you as much as it was bandied about here. I bet if I dug them up you'd be at the heart of a chain of messages discussing the importance of Sweeny's statement.
