Intel New Contest for Game Developer

 

I have renewed interest in Intel and gaming due to my change in career. I find Intel and other tech companies using the Intent medium more and more to generate customer and partner excitement. This contest is one more such effort to get game developers excited and participate. Intel Software Partner Program is a great tool for software companies to connect with Intel and leverage the value of platforms which Intel is providing.  Do check these communities and sites to learn more on what is the future of computing. Cheers…
