Opteron and FirePro were the tools behind the film.

Oh, so that's why it sucked...

 

[shaun_shaun]

Toms didnt talk, what GPUs used to make movies like Avatar or any other recent CGI intense movie ..so what s the big deal about this Machete??? probably Jessica Alba !!!

 

[elbert]

Todays movies are getting cheaper to make as tech improves. Even the TV shows of today are able to produce realistic effects in a fraction of time and cost. This unfortunately has movies reaching near price elasticity of demand for views.

And I used intel CPU and intel GPU to type this comment.

 

[blasterth]

Is this the only movie ever made that uses AMD CPUs and GPUs?
Well congratulations!

 

[joytech22]

Awesome! good to see AMD getting recognized for this stuff.

And didn't IBM's cell processors and a mix of intel processors render Avatar? (Some NZ renderfarm or something)

Is this the only movie ever made that uses AMD CPUs and GPUs?
Well congratulations!

Nope, AMD also did Predators (2010)

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAHHH FULL ON DOUBLE AMD RAINBOW RENDER! It's so intense; what does it mean? Honestly does this mean anything?

 

[thesmokingman14]

ROFL, it's like ate Kill Bill, The Matrix, and Last Action Hero and crapped out a movie. The only thing missing is a geriatric Steven Seagal....although having enough chicks running around in bras with guns could redeem it! 😉

 

[nforce4max]

This is one of the worst movies to come out for a long time that is this racist. I hope that it flops at the box office.

 

[velozzity]

So has anyone actually seen what this movie is about...i mean yes the man was set up, but it basically boils down to a minority (and illegal alien omfg i said it im not politically correct sue me) running around shooting whites...if it were reversed would'nt that be called racist instead of artwork.

 

[Travis Beane]

Was I the only one expecting to see a picture of a machete made from billions of fused transistors? Bet it'd be colourful.
Quintan, Rodriguez, and Uwe Boll have to be my favorite directors. 😀

 

[Poisoner]

Im switching to nVidia now. This movie is so racist its not funny. I'm half hispanic and I find it as an attempt to start a race war. I am so happy I went to Intel already.

 

[Hilarion]

Ooooo... All the negativity at the mention of AMD here.

 

[Netherscourge]

Are you people insane? This is the BEST SUMMER MOVIE OF 2010.

You people crying about Mexican's killing white people need to go back to your Tea Party rallies...

 

[Tedders]

I can't believe you put Lindsay Lohan's name in there and not Michele Rodriguez...

 

[Chris_TC]

So why exactly is this news? Of course there are a handful of workstations out there that use FirePro hardware.

The tea party movement is a control mechanism. And this movie is very racist.

 

[cptnjarhead]

Remember when movies were filmed on location.... with real props and explosions.... ah the good old days.

Typing , the only thing you can do good with an intel GPU.

 

[haramir]

Hmm, Jessica Alba is hot enough as is... if they were to enhance her with CG, that would be insane!

 

[chrissmartin]

AND I USED MY AMD PROCESSOR TO CLOSE THIS PAGE.

 

[lp231]

Before I clicked on the link, I was like "machete" are made by AMD CPUs and GPUs? No wai!!!!!!
I had to click on it to see how it's done! And it was a movie...

 

[kilthas_th]

This is unsurprising. I've received a cut or two from AMD products in my time.

On another note, it's good to see something come out where ATI appears to have antialiasing ready and working in time for launch (though I guess I'll have to see the film to be certain). lol
