Holy Shit! AMD partners up with Intel!.....Sort of

Read 'em and reap, people!: AMD to pair CPUs, GPUs with Intel's physics tech (http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2008/06/12/amd_havok_co_op/)

nVidia, baby, you're screwed.

Well, sort of. AMD's actually working with Intel subsidiary Havok, which the chip giant acquired last year. Havok operates separately from Intel to develop its Havok FX physics processing API, which allows developers to code up such algorithms to run on GPUs rather than CPUs.

Still....it sounds cool.

IDK, I've always liked PhysX's SDK more than Havok's. However, Havok has a wider range of physics related libraries (cloth, behavior, etc) that all mingle together. It helped that Havok finally realized their fallacy and did away with the licensing for some PC applications.
