Just yesterday, AMD representatives noted that in the development of physical effects technologies , this last will use multi central processors, rather than video chip. The reason for this priorities change , as we know, was buying Havok by Intel company in September this year.
As explained Richard Huddy, which is responsible for relations with AMD developers , the purchase of Havok by Intel company could have a far reaching implications not only for AMD, but also for AGEIA. Mr Haddy admitted that the possibility of buying AGEIA company by AMD raises every few months. In fact, AMD did not rule out the possibility of buying AGEIA, but the whole issue is the price.
Intel company made a bad impact in the market after purchasing Havok for the amount of over $ 100 million. Now AGEIA should focus on the transaction between Havok and Intel. Naturally, AMD currently has no free cash to easily pay $ 100 million for AGEIA. Other players in the graphics market and entertainment devices can also look to AGEIA: as NVIDIA , Sony and Nintendo.
