|  | | Intel to Delay Larrabee to 2010? |
According to a report published by c’t magazine, Intel is now aiming to launch Larrabee in a variety of flavors in 2010 and has scrapped the previous late 2009 plan. Intel’s Joseph Schultz made this comment during the opening of a visual computing research center in Saarbruecken, Germany. Spokesman Nick Knupffer confirmed the narrowed-down date, but declined to provide further comments.
Schultz also told c’t that it will be a “big challenge” to compete with Nvidia’s and AMD’s products and especially highlighted the power-efficiency achieved by AMD’s Radeon graphics cards. Intel is very careful providing any information about its x86-based Larrabee. What we know, however, is that the device will be based on second-generation Pentium processor technology with the P54C core. The first Pentium core (P5, 800 nm, 60 and 66 MHz) was in development since 1989 and was introduced in 1993.

Hopefully im wrong, but I doubt it! First time I heard it was based on some military issue pentium core I almost thought it was 1 april... To me it just doesnt sound good, even if it had 200cores? | | | | they just got fined in EU... it the time they should realize to change attitude | | | | So much negativitiy.....I'm looking forward to it's release.....I know they are not expecting the first version to break any records.....I like to see people trying different approaches rather than just improving on what is already being done, it's the only way those large step changes are made...I hope they have hit on something.....certainly the idea of having a graphics card that can accelerate many other everyday tasks sounds like a winner and will be so much easier to implement on larrabee than "normal" graphics cards. I'm looking forward to seeing what their product can do and wishing them success. | | | | if the GT3xx is truly a MIMD design, then larabee will be nothing. | | | | There's no telling how much of a performance increase switching to MIMD is going to yield. There's all sorts of wild and crazy numbers/estimations floating around.
It's hard to get excited about larabee when they haven't really shown us anything useful. | | | | its hard to get excited about larabee considering its going to be using system memory, and intel has never been known for feature packed display drivers.... | | | | "Using system memory"....never....really??!!! (will that work) | | | | it will work sure, will it work well? probably not, just look at all the crappy onboard cards that use shared memory | | | | Surely a graphics card that doesn't have onboard memory can never be competitive?....that has put a different complextion on my expectations. | | | | how do you think most IGP's work >.> | | | | Soon Intel will have a press release stating that Larabee will be released at the same time as DirectX 14. lol
What a joke intel has turned into. Sad really | | | | Quote:

I doubt anything from Intel will be price competitive though. | | | | Intel and graphics... like trying to run a car on dog shit. | | | | You guys were obviousely not around dureing the i740 days, I ran OpenGL @90% of Voodo cards at 25% of the cost. Intel can do anything they put their mind too so watch out. 
And if Hydra is all it's hyped to be then the combination has potential to be a Nvidia slayer. | | | | the i740 is a pathetic piece of trash. | | | | yea back then the game was alot different, the ammout of performence thoes old cards really put out was next to nothing | |
