He's saying Unreal Engine 3 will be able to utilize current and near future 
hardware.  64 bit dual core processors are here, now, and gaining in 
popularity because of much lowered price points at the entry level for these 
units.  And AMD's TOP dual core isn't really that pricey right now at just 
under $1000 US.  Sure, Unreal Engine 3 will surely run fine on lower spec 
systems than that.  But like Doom3, to get ALL the goodies, you will run top 
spec now.  The buzzword here would be "scalable".
