Looks like some had very early access to this new TeRminator 3 platform
Did they wait for release because of motherboard delays?

It's great because they seeded hardware in advanced to people who use the tools. Also its a great demo on the hardware. It might have flopped and while I liked it and don't agree with most of the reasons it flopped, its not a mound I am willing to die for. But honestly the one thing the movie did right was the cgi. For something with fantastical events, outside the new Terminator walking on walls like a spider, most of the physics was really well grounded and the effects pretty seemless with reality. Great demo for performance and cost there. It being a flop might help if the CGI artist have to move around and can sell their new companies on the help of a properly setup thread-ripper system is over similar Intel.Not bad, but I don't know if the PR is effective as it could be because the movie was a bit of a flop at the box office and has generally been panned by reviewers and fans. I'm not sure if AMD would want to associate their brand with something else that most people view as disappointing. Sure it's not as bad as using Bill Cosby to market their product, but I don't know if they'd want to push this as hard as if the film was good.
The marketing isn't really aimed at movie goers. It's aimed at CGI professionals, and the tools they use. So, hit or flop doesn't really matter.Not bad, but I don't know if the PR is effective as it could be because the movie was a bit of a flop at the box office and has generally been panned by reviewers and fans.

the Pixar team initially thought they could render the film over 20 months using 53 processors. Each of the machines in the render farm was named after an animal, and when it completed a frame it would play the corresponding animal’s sound. The number of machines eventually grew to 300, but even that pales in comparison to the computing power Pixar wields today. Susman said that the company now has 23,000 processors at its disposal — enough to render the original Toy Story in real time.
