The seventh issue of Intel® Visual Adrenaline magazine is particularly good, highlighting the advancement of visual computing, with an insider’s look at:
- How DreamWorks Animation has taken the world lead in 3D cinema
- How Star Trek* Online ups the visual level of MMO gaming when run on Intel® HD Graphics
- How the insiders at Intel used tips and tricks, optimizing their own demo of Fireflies to run on power-sipping netbooks
- How Sid Meier’s Civilization* 5 was built with a new architecture and a new game engine for this genre-defining franchise
- How the international academic community teams up with Intel to demonstrate how visual computing can enhance our lives through more realistic simulations
- How Adobe Creative Suite* 5, the video editing and rendering package, is put to work by the Bandito Brothers, taking full advantage of multi-core and 24 threads
