The new Ruby demo looks promising


On the same day as the Geforce GTX 280 went up, AMD was showing off its new Cinema 2.0 experience in San Francisco ,and although we didn't follow the live broadcast from the event, a recorded version should be up for all of those that missed it.

AMD's demo system specifications for Cinema 2.0 trailer included two of AMD's upcoming RV770, or Radeon HD 48x0 series of graphics cards, a quad-core Phenom X4 9850 processor and the 790FX chipset. This doesn't really seem like mainstream hardware to us, but the demo looks quite impressive. It looks like AMD has borrwed a few ideas from Cloverfield, but let's just hope you don't get as nauseous from AMD's demo as you did by the movie.

Although we've already shown you a sneak peek of this demo a couple of weeks ago from Computex, the new demo was running in real time on the system above and it was different from what was shown back at Computex.

AMD claims that Cinema 2.0 "Punches Holes in the ‘Sensory Barrier’ Separating Cinema and Games" which might be over exaggerating things a little bit, but you can make your mind up by yourself by checking out the video.

You can find the press release here, the 11-second demo here and the coverage of the entire event should be available here shortly
