Intel Larrabee Fails as a GPU Project

[rick22]

i absolutely called this. i knew it.

Your the man solaris..... love ya man

 

[PP Mguire]

Eventually they'll get frustrated, give up, and buy nvidia.

Wont happen.

Im with Solaris, i called it too. There is absolutely no way a cpu, or stream of cpus, can compete with the computing power of a gpu. At least its one less name i have to hear

 

[mabszy]

Intel knows exactly what they are doing; they embarked on a project with a projected success / failure rate, never saw it bearing fruits and are now stepping back; it happens but the lessons learnt will become valuable in the future and its a matter of years before Intel releases their own CPU / GPU >> yep, 100% 'Intel Inside'

As expected, delicious FAIL is delivered.

saw this one coming. stringing 20 pentium 4's together to create a graphics chip?

NV and AMD aren't doing much different, they strap hundreds of simple cores together as well. Plus they're P54C not P4. Quite a difference.

Hey, who remembers this bullshit?

Poor Dreamworks. What ever will they do now?

Santa Clara (CA) - Intel is partnering with another big name to create credibility for its upcoming visual computing technology consisting of Nehalem processors and Larrabee accelerator units. DreamWorks will use Larrabee to create its first stereoscopic 3D film called Monsters vs. Aliens, which is slated for a March 2009 release.

Hahahahahahahaha...

Intel graphics AMD

Lol, it would have been fun to run a Radeon + GeForce + Larabee setup on a Hydra powered board.
I think ATi must have shocked Intel (among others) when they came out swinging so hard with the 5000 series.

 

[DrunkenMafia]

FaIL

"there is a larrabee gpu inside this case.. you cant see it but you will all have to believe me."

this guy just get back from mars?

i absolutely called this. i knew it.

It doesnt happen to often, atleast of what the public hears eh?

 

[Semi-Lobster]

Intel said they're not laying off the Larabee team, hopefully they'll at least put them to good use and make the GMA series suck a little less

Larrabee GPU isn't dead yet, just delayed. I'm positive it will eventually make it to market but it may no longer carry the Larrabee name. Larrabee is an internal name anyway (much like the name of CPU cores).

 

[vagxtr]

LOL. It's Intel competition when they publicly announced delay of product that weren't ready to compete on GPU market domintated by 7900gtx and not HD5870 series.

You give Intel too much credit LRB - Larabee is a great CPU project but LING -- Larabee is not GPU. It's a HPC TFlops cruncher which also is targeted for graphic market because of it's great roi.


And Intel get huuuuge advertisment from people drooling on Larabee ghost whispers than they would ever get if they release for real that LRB CPU instead Itanium 2 --- which is also ... delayed. For year and half now and counting.h

It most likely will get to the market one way or the other yes. The question is how, what market and will it be competitive. Then again the latter has always been the question.

 

[FordGT90Concept]

Indeed, but as long as it is price competitive (cheap to manufacturer and sold for a tidy profit), you'd think Intel wouldn't really care if it were the best card out there.
