Intel Larrabee 2.0 will come
If you have an interest for high-end computer graphics, you might have heard that Intel’s upcoming Larrabee (nicknamed LRB) graphics processing unit (GPU) has been shelved as a product, but it is not certainly not dead as a project.
The current Larrabee, I’ll shout it 1.0, will instead become a development vehicle that will serve to get the software going for whenever LRB 2.0 will show up. What happened? Intel didn’t supply much details, but it didn’t think that LRB 1.0 could be competitive in the market. I’ve heard rumors that Intel is already working on another design based on a low-power X86 core
but that’s just speculation. I additionally suspect that the software is simply not ready to prepare LRB a decent GPU. In the meantime, Larrabee 1.0 will be used internally and externally to develop the graphics drivers and non-graphics software that will be used down the road. It’s a serious bump on the road, but that is not by yet.Permalink: Intel Larrabee 2.0 will come from Ubergizmo | Hot: Palm Pixi Review
