And at the upcoming Microprocessor Forum (October 15) AMD will reveal the tech behind their upcoming 64-bit Hammer processors, which should be out sometime next year.

Doom 3 drives my next big upgrade. AMD's been letting me down in some sense, or perhaps it's Intel's persistance that skews the processor market. It's dissappointing to see AMD so far behind and making up for it with silly processor naming instead of real processor speeds.
It'll be really dissapointing if Id Software releases a "doom test" in the distant future and none of AMD's chips are capable of running it smoothly.
