According to my information provided by a) folk that work in FX divisions in 20th Century Fox, Universal and ILM, AMD's machines have the highest share.

Also, I pinged few companies that actually assemble workstations for DCC and DAW. Nehalem-EP is changing things a bit, but ultimately, it is the platform that counts. And majority went with AMD's Santa Rosa CPU with nV Quadro. It was AMD's heyday, now things are looking different.

Just curious as to see how you came up with this line: "This move only confirms the influence AMD has in Hollywood, as majority of studios rely on Opteron processors, nForce chipset and Quadro graphics." I can see the claim about the chipset and graphics, but I would guess the majority would rely on Intel CPUs? I'm just interested to see if AMD really is a top-player in Hollywood. Is there a link you could point to?
