• [MEDIA] Intel Purchases Game Tools Firm Havok Mike Rozak
  From Gammasutra: http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story511
  
  "Chip giant Intel has announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire major game tools company Havok for an unspecified sum, with the Irish-based firm to become a wholly owned subsidiary of Intel."
  ... snip
  
  
  A few years ago I mentioned the danger of a large company buying SpeedTree. Well, Intel has gone and bought Havok, equally important middleware.
  
  Some things to think about:
  
  1) How much faster will future versions of Havok run on Intel, compared to AMD? What are the chances of getting future versions of Havok ported to another processor, such as PowerPC, or whatever processor Sony is using for the PS3/4?
  
  2) Why else does Intel want Havok? (I have some suspicions.)
