Intel has quietly acquired Neoptica, yet another graphics software company like Havok. "Neoptica has been acquired by Intel, where we are working on a number of exciting efforts in interactive computer graphics," a short statement from Neoptica's web-site reads when you try to search the home page in Google. Previously, Neoptica developed software tools for development of advanced "interactive graphics". Based in San Francisco, California, the company was founded by ex-NVIDIA and ex-Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. employees who used to work on software development positions. Besides, some of Neoptica's employees were involved into GPGPU (general purpose computing on graphics processing units) projects.
