I know this has gone around already but I wanted help spread the word.
I was able to see first hand what the Havok guys where doing a couple years ago at E3. This was when the hardware guys where just coming out and Havok wanted to show off what you could do with their software and your current hardware (without the need to buy specific PPU hardware)
Havok will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Intel but keep operating its business as usual, according to an Intel press release. It will add to Intel's visual computing and graphics efforts, while continuing to develop products for all computing platforms, the company said. The acquisition will help Havok grow into new market segments, Havok CEO David O'Meara (http://www.pcworld.com/tags/David+O%27Meara.html) said in a prepared statement. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Founded in 1998, Havok's helps game developers simulate real world physics in their games, making objects appear to move in a more realistic fashion.
