Dreamworks to use Intel technology for 3-D movies

NEW YORK (Reuters) - DreamWorks Animation SKG Inc plans to use chips from Intel Corp for the creation of 3-D movies, the companies said on Tuesday.

DreamWorks will use Intel's visual computing products for 3-D animated feature films starting with its "Monsters vs. Aliens" movie, set for domestic release on March 27, 2009, it said.

Intel, whose biggest rival is Advanced Micro Devices Inc, said it also plans to develop next-generation 3-D viewing technology for home theaters, personal computers, video games, online environments and mobile devices.
