AMD and Adobe at GDC 2012 - Interview with Thibault Imbert, Flash Player Product Manager

At GDC 2012 in March, we had the opportunity to speak with Thibault Imbert, Flash Player Product Manager for Adobe, and learn more about how Adobe Flash Player enables accelerated experiences through Stage 3D on AMD APU and GPUs. Thibault explains how third party Flash Stage 3D frameworks, like Away3D and Alternativa3D for 3D and Starling for 2D, are designed to provide game developers with a way to access GPU acceleration through Actionscript for both 2D and 3D games. Thibault also provided a candid glimpse on where Flash is going in the future.

If you are a developer, or just someone who wants to hear about the latest innovations that will help shape future technology?

If so, check out the AMD Fusion Developer Summit (AFDS) in Bellevue, Washington June 11-14, 2012 where Tom Malloy, Senior Vice President and Chief Software Architect at Adobe will be among several great keynote speakers. Adobe will also be driving a handful of fantastic breakout sessions, including one by Thibault, who will be discussing some of the great advances being made by the Flash team in gaming and premium video.

amd i love you

[Jason Werner]

The 7970 and the 680 trade blows in gaming and GPU accelerated work. If only AMD had better drivers.

[Generalolz69]

Never settle it popular they are gaining market share from nvidia!

[Generalolz69]

Its not that easy if it was they would of done it already!

[Teawithgrief]

god i wish amd made a new processor socket and a new lower nm processor in 2013... ANYONE WITH ME?

They could kill intel with a 5ghz gaming cpu... but i guess thats not where the big money is

[HyperionStudiosDE]

I dont't understand why AMD isn't advertising it's products, the Never-Settle-Bundle for example is a good deal at the moment. But how can that ever become known if they don't advertise.

I know that AMD isn't very liquid at the moment but they could at least upload some news on Youtube.

[eastsidebeastkidx]

I bet HTML5 play runs like shit lol should make a video showing the differences and rates.

[SupremeGamingStyle]

Yeah i think amd is da best. fuck intel.

[Tobu02]

Well yeah, NOW.

But HTML5 is still quite new, and asfar as I know there aren't many sites using it.

Flash is still required on most sites.

[paziipa]

Flash is so dead, open web!

[Tobu02]

But Flash is still being used for video...

Y'know, can't watch YouTube videos without Flash.
