Alan Wake demo using Kentsfield-core CPU

Published on September 28, 2006 By teh blake In Action

If you have not seen the Alan Wake demo that is going around on YouTube yet, I suggest you check it out. It is essentially a demo of what they are doing with quad-core support with the game. One of the coolest things is that they are using one Kentsfield core on the new Core 2 Extreme processors as a dedicted physics processor. Uhm, what's the point of a PPU, again?

Anyway, it makes me excited to see that games are *still* getting more and more realistic and giving me some justification for spending a good amount of my hard-earned cash on computer components
