Fred & Intel Investors = Intel's ITanium receives support for a COMMERCIAL 3D Graphics application - Calgari's trueSPACE4.
"Caligari's award-winning trueSpace4 provides content developers the ability to deliver the next-generation of interactive 3D content. trueSpace4 features a real-time modeless environment and a uniquely immersive interface, allowing users to directly manipulate objects in a fully rendered 3D perspective space, thus enhancing and accelerating the design process. Caligari's future support for the Intel Itanium processor is an example of the company's dedication to maximizing performance for the next-generation of hardware accelerators. Last year, Caligari was the first company to demonstrate a 300% increase in performance on the Intel Pentium III processor."
This application is an advanced 3D visualization/rebndering tool for use by commercial illustrators and graphics artists. It is one (maybe the) of the first "everday" applications to be ported to Intel's new IA64/ITanium platform - where SPEED is the over-riding concern.
The momentum for IA64 is building !
One of these days, ITanium systems will be announced - and VOILA ! - there will be software OS's and applications immediately available to run !
