Star Wars III rendered on Athlon 64

AMD made Jedis for the Republic

By Fuad Abazovic: Tuesday 15 March 2005, 18:33
WE RECEIVED MANY mails after we filed our Star Wars episode III rendered on Windows 64 story, here.

In the last paragraph we wondered which CPU was used and we got an answer from many of you. Yes, AMD even did a press release that Star Wars Episode II was rendered on bunch of AMD Athlon 64 CPUs. AMD just followed on and helped George Lucas with Episode III as well. You can check one of the links here

This is a cool marketing win for AMD and it's a real recognition of its 64 bit efforts as I believe its marketing can come up with things like: "If it's good for the Jedi and the Republic it has to be good for gaming and home use".

That again raises the question which graphic cards were those boys using, Geforce–Quadro or Radeon Fire GL, we wonder.

Intel  would have work just as fine... but it will cost lucas arts a fortune in power bills ( prescott comsumes 130 watts of power vs 65 for A64)  ,  power supplies , BTX cases and DDR II RAM and it would have taken longer ....  
    unofficial numbers say that 5% of prescotts die from heat stress.... so George will have to replace his machines more often too.....
   AMD ownz everything intel has cept maybe for the Itaniums
