If you find the normal questions on University Challenge…erm challenging then imagine the fiendishly mind-melting conundrums that result from basing the show's format around processor design! But that's exactly what a team of plucky journalists and a team of IT managers faced this week in the final of a competition devised by Intel to promote its soon to be launched Centrino-Pro chip-set.

Filmed in CNET's (ZDNet UK's parent company) brand spanking new video suite – the final saw technical editor Rupert Goodwins, site director Matt Loney, news editor Richard Thurston and reporter David Meyer triumph over the IT manager team from Nexus. Team ZD did have a slight advantage in that we were on home-turf and the fact that Rupert knows more about Intel's chip-design than a whole army of Bunny-men. The final score: ZDNet UK - 315 Nexus - 225.

We're still busy compiling and editing the footage but it should be live on ZDNet early next week. Stay tuned.



The calm before the storm: The team for Nexus looking pretty relaxed - they don't know what they are in for!
