Larrabee - lets get naked!

[Shintai]

Can someone please enlighten me. Is this larrabee supposed to be a high-end GPU or an "improved" integrated GPU in a motherboard?

Its a GPGPU. But it will also be used as IGP in a CPU later on. Think something like 4-8 cores in IGP. 8-32 Cores in discrete GFX card. (Larrabee cores).

Will it really hurt amd and nvidia? Gt300 and rv870 will hurt high-performance computing with the cpu. Cpus will become less important, so intel really needs a product against it. Intel will get market share, but the market should grow fast with opencl. I don't think Larrabee will be a good choice for gamers, but it will be strong in gpgpu.

LOL! Ye and CUDA and CTM already made the CPU so obsolete. They are both useless.

RV870/GT300/Larrabee is still an utter joke for generel computing. Larrabee would be by large portions the fastest of the 3 in those terms. And we talk about Atom performance.

I dont think RVxxx/GTxxx can do even 5% of what a CPU can. RVxxx/GTxxx are very fast at a very very limited amount of things. They are DSP type chips. Even Cell can do much more than those 2.
