Not many people realize that the release of our Service Packs for FSX repesented the culmination of six months' work as part of a collaborative engineering agreement with Intel. Thanks to an article by Gamasutra's Lee Purcell, you can read all about it.

As our own Phil Taylor says in this quote from the article:

"The latest version of Microsoft Flight Simulator X Service Pack 2 (SP2) is a great match for the extreme multi-core processing delivered by the new 45nm Intel Core2 Extreme processors. Flight Simulator X SP2 greatly increases multicore utilization and will scale as more threads are available leading to reduced load times as well as frame rate improvements and great visual complexity during flight. The Flight Simulator team at Microsoft is pleased to work with Intel to provide our end users with a great gaming experience."
