So Intel will be making graphics cards soon?

Quote:
Intel has unveiled details of the chip that will spearhead its move into computer graphics.

It has revealed blueprints for the Larrabee chip that is scheduled to first appear in finished products in late 2009 or early 2010.

Larrabee will be a stand-alone graphics processor unlike the onboard chips it produces for many PC makers.

The move will bring Intel into direct competition with graphics specialists Nvidia and the ATI division of AMD.

32 x86 processors... all a lot more primitive than the current ones, but still 32 of them... just imagine all the things you can do with em... haha. And they also seem to be focused on integrating them for not only games but high performance computing. Sweet stuff, gonna be interesting to see how it all turns out. Its nice they're using the x86 instruction set, so anyone can play around with em.

They were pushing MS to make HW accelerated ray tracing in games possible with DX11, but MS turned them down, so it still remains unclear if Intel will be able to have an edge over the competitors.

The x86 thing is nice, but I think the vector units (16 instructions per cycle per core) will be even more interesting for high performance computing.

Yeah will be interesting to see if Intel can compete.

If they can actually get a decent GPU lineup then it can only mean lower prices for all of us because of more competition in the market Smile

There larabee tech demo was a joke anyway.
They ran a oldskool looking graphics demo and it was not even smooth.
