Chip launch ushers in new era
Chip maker AMD has launched its long anticipated Athlon 64 computer processor.
Gamers, scientists and engineers will probably be among the first users of the chip, keen to benefit from the boost in performance AMD promises it will give them.
The chip brings 64-bit computing to desktop machines, even though there are relatively few programs in use that can take full advantage of its capabilities.
