ASUSTeK chooses the PPU Posted on 18/05/2005 at 18:41 by Marc
AGEIA made a couple of Physical Processor Unit (PPU) announcements during the E3 (see this news). AGEIA has found a common ground with ASUSTeK to be the first partner to release additional boards compatible with this processor. No details have been added yet except for a release date this year at the same time as games using the PPU during Q3.
AGEIA announced that Ubi Soft Tom’s Clancy Ghost Recon 3 and Cryptic Studios City of Villains will support this technology. The Atari Shiny Entertainment studio has also adopted the NovodeX technology, the AGEIA software physical engine (via the CPU) and hardware (via the PPU), for their next game based on the Matrix universe.
