They be entering into a market that is already saturated, and where developers are more familar with Havok and Ageia. Howver much mathematics prowess AMD has, it would take a hell of an engine plus a huge amount of advertising and training to get it more then 0.5% market share]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Skry]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 12th 2008 1:39PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on AMD back on the Havok physics engine bandwagon]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/amd-back-on-the-havok-physics-engine-bandwagon/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/amd-back-on-the-havok-physics-engine-bandwagon/</guid><description><![CDATA[El jobso has said the apple are going to start to develop their own chipsets for ipods and iphones and multi-touch devices so they are not available to other  companies.
