Design us a star - and win a workstation! (part 1)

Create a graphic for our upcoming digital art talent contest and you could win an Intel Core i7-powered workstation worth over $5,000

This April, 3D World, in association with Intel, will be launching an international contest to find the most talented digital artists of 2009 – and we’d like you to design the marketing concept used in the publicity material.

In addition to seeing their work used in high-profile adverts, both in print and online, the creator of the graphic chosen to promote the contest will win an Intel Core i7-based workstation worth over $5,000.

For years, Intel technology has been the driving force behind digital content creation, both on Windows machines and the new Intel Macs. But the company’s new Core i7 processors take demanding multimedia and graphics tasks to a new dimension.

Although the i7s are quad-core processors, Intel’s proprietary Hyper-Threading technology splits each physical core into two virtual ones, so the processor appears to the operating system to have eight cores, speeding up demanding 3D tasks.

In our review of the Armari Magnetar NS+, one of the first Core i7 workstations, James Morris commented: “This system beats the multi-threaded rendering performance of any quad-core workstation we’ve seen.”
