"The Game Technology Association has announced that IBM's senior executive architect for games George Dolbier will keynote the fall GTA meeting on October 26, in Austin, Texas
GTA describes itself as "a peer networking group specifically serving companies involved in producing hardware, software and network enabling technologies for videogame development on all platforms and devices".
Dolbier will discuss details of the IBM Processors that will power next generation game platforms like PlayStation 3, and "how the new processors and consoles will drive new and unique infrastructure considerations for connected console and online games".
"The platforms available for interactive entertainment continue to increase in number, power and complexity," said Christopher Sherman, Game Technology Association and Game Initiative executive director. "Having the opportunity to hear IBM discuss their plans for the Cell Processor will provide a distinct competitive advantage for all companies creating hardware, software and networking technology for video game development.""
