Siggraph

A word from our sponsor: Dan Snyder at the Penton booth:

Wow, what a phenomenal showing for our just one-year-old baby Core 2 Duo and Core Xeons here at Siggraph. HP, Boxx, Dell, Alienware and tons of others are showing these systems really being pushed to their limits. I am still reeling from French food envy after seeing Ratatouille (every frame of that was touched by an Intel CPU, thanks to a 30% speedup of Renderman on the new architecture!)… Softimage’s gig last night with the behind the scenes of “300″ would boggle even the geekiest computer guy’s mind. Great to see the software and hardware coming together here, we’re glad to be a little bit of the glue that makes this magic happen. Kudos to the artists–where it all starts!
