Intel has worked closely with Havok and has helped to optimize HydraCore, This software technology accelerates Havok-powered games by caplitalising on multi-core and multi-threaded hardware to deliver game-play experiences that's up there with the next-generation game platforms. It turns a small-scale melee into a full-scale war.
This video looks at Intel's work with Havok and its importance in helping game developers optimize for a multithreading environment to unleash the power of the Intel® Core™2 Duo and the Intel® Core™2 Extreme quad-core processors, allowing more realistic and compelling physics effects, including fluid dynamics, particle systems and inverse kinematics. Translation: ultra realistic environments and people so convincing you could mistake them for real friends.
