Ticker Tape Threading Demo at GDC 2010 Intel Booth

I stopped by the Ticker Tape demo at Intel GDC booth and shot this quick video. This demos shows the power and advantage of threading games and because its running on the new Core i7-980x (Gulftown) we can see the demo scale from 1 to 12 threads.



The message here; threading your games allows you to scale the experience to the hardware providing the best game play possible.

Check out Ticker Tape for yourself. Download the demo and sample code.

First Impressions of Intel Booth at GDC 2010

This is my first GDC and I have to say I'm pretty much blown away at the activity. The Intel booth has a lot going. There are about 21 demos including StarCraft II, Napoleon, Star Trek online, Cakewalk and most are showcasing how they've optimized performance and graphics for Intel architecture.

Here is a quick walk thru the booth about 45 minutes after the doors opened. It's now 2:15 and it has not slowed down.



You gotta check out this Atom N450, D410, & D510 video

If you're wondering about the next generation Atom processors, and what kinds of devices will be available to develop games & media applications, then this video is a great introduction by Cindy Ng, from the Intel Netbook Marketing Team, on the N450, D410, & D510 chips. The N450 is a mobile chip, with the D410 being an entry level desktop processor, and the D510 as an entry level desktop dual core processor. (Sweet right?).
