Intel is spending more than $8 million to promote a Pixar movie which it thinks will encourage consumers and IT managers to buy its dual-core products.

Intel is hoping that Ratatouille, which is a cartoon about a rat who wants to be a chief in Paris, will inspire consumers to expect a similar high-end multimedia experience at home on their Intel-powered computers.
