Intel’s Larrabee GPU
Hey guys! Icarus here again, with more information to help all of you!
Today, I’m going to move away from AMD and NVidia, and focus on Intel. But stay on the topic of GPUs.
Yes, you heard that right: Intel and GPUs. Thought they don’t mix well?
That’s what I thought at first too. To be honest, I’ve been completely ignoring Intel when it came to GPU. And now I feel completely embarassed.
So, here we go, the Intel Larrabee GPU.
What is it?
So basically, Intel has been making processors, motherboards, and a few other things over these past couple of years. With AMD making all that and GPUs with ATI under their belt, Intel had no competition against AMD when it came to GPUs.
Well, it looks like Intel has been experimenting with GPUs for the last few years, and finally has a GPU coming right around the corner: The Intel Larrabee GPU.
There are no details leaked yet, but from my understanding, Intel is making a serious push into the GPU industry, and when Intel is serious, they really are serious.
Some speculate that Larrabee will be the first of its kind, and absolutely steam-roll all of its competition, including AMD and NVidia. Some say it will be an absolute disaster.
Me? I”m just going to wait on more information before I make my judgement.
How does this affect me?
Well, now you have Intel in the GPU industry mix.
It’s no longer AMD vs NVidia; it’s now AMD vs NVidia vs Intel, a three-way, all-out deathmatch over whose GPU can perform the best.
The price of the Larrabee will also affect us in a way to see if we can afford it or not. Intel can’t price it too low or it won’t have enough profit to continue production, and Intel can’t price it too high because no one will buy it(in this tough economic time).
When I get more information, I will definitely update you on this new, exciting GPU! The Intel Larrabee will surely surprise us, in a good or bad way, we won’t know until it gets released.
Well, that’s all I got for you today! I will keep you posted on the latest in computer hardware technology everyday! In simple English!
And don’t forget to comment!!!! I appreciate criticism, further analysis, your own opinion, and especially suggestions on what latest hardware you want reviewed!!!
Have a great rest of Sunday! Cheers!
