Havok 4 is the tool that graphics card manufacturers ATI and NVIDIA aim to use to fight AGEIA and its PhysX card. The goal is to handle physics in games at a whole new level than we're used to and PhysX is the first dedicated physics processor on the market. With Havok 4 a regular graphics card will be able to handle physics effects in an efficient way and this will make it possible for ATI and NVIDIA to compete better with AGEIA. During the CEDEC event in Japan, Havok has displayed what its tool can handle and a good listener took the opportunity to film the demonstration.
We know very little about the hardware which was used but according to the speaker it's NVIDIA's latest GPU which is being used to create these physical effects. The entire movie can be found at YouTube.com and should offer a nice preview of what Havok 4 has to offer.
