SC09: Intel speaks about 3D Web, demonstrates LRB.

[saaya]

2-3x faster than a gtx280... fermi is supposed to be more than 2-3x faster than a gtx280 isnt it?
but lrb will cost 300-400$, while fermi will come at a hefty 2500$+... i really dont understand nvidias price positioning... they either think lrb wont be ready anytime soon for when fermi comes out, or they think it wont perform nearly as well as fermi... or they have their head in the clouds and the prices are a wish on their part... which is actually what it looks like... 2500 and 4000 sounds like what nvidia would like to sell their gpus for... i just dont see it happening in this time-space reality we currently exist in ^^

and i wonder about rasterization performance...
while its a big achievement for gpus to do double precision and do lots of flops, single or double, its easy for lrb to have a high flops number... the difficult part for intel is getting rasterization perf right... and im curious how itll do there...

cause lets face it, who here is gonna buy lrb to run some synthetic flops benchmark or run a gpgpu app?
