More than 1 billion games of Halo 3 have been played, according to this Bungie blog post. That’s more than we have fingers and toes, so it’s a bit beyond us.

“Saturday night, while many of us were stuffing food into our faces, plenty of folks were still playing Halo 3,” said the firm in the update.

“At precisely 6.36pm PST, in a three minute and nineteen second game of Infection on Foundry, four players participated in Halo 3′s one billionth match.”

That’s ridiculous, whichever way you cut it. There’s some more silly figures through the link.

AMD’s will show its upcoming Phenom CPUs (currently showing less than monster (rumoured) benchmarks) at CeBit 2008, so say company sources here.

“Due to the TLB (translation lookaside buffer) bug, AMD has postponed the launch of its upcoming quad-core Phenom 9700 CPU to the second quarter of 2008, however the company is planning to showcase the CPU at CeBIT 2008 in March along with 9900 and 9100e models, according to sources at motherboard makers.”

CeBit is Germany’s gigantic annual computer fair, to be held this year in Hannover on from March 4-9.
