Any have any thoughts (or better yet, facts) about the average price Larrabee's gonna be at in 2011-ish? I mean like, is it high end like Intel SSD's (way over-priced) or will it be around the same price as the GTX/48XX's right now?

Now the real question comes to price. If it will be more expensive and harder to integrate with existing apps, will it catch on with the integrated market. My guess is that for the market Intel is going for, cost effectiveness is key.

But unlike modern GPUs that have the commands stored on the chip, the lazybee will need a library to translate regular x86 into DirectX/OpenGL commands. Mad overhead if you ask me.

I will be building my new system around this timeframe, bad news is that things like this will have me waiting for a couple of more months for better hardware.

Btw I think that unless Intel lunches this first generation of GPUs at a low price is not going to be accepted too well.

We've been hearing 'news' itendical to this for months now. Infact, if it wasnt for my laziness, I'm certain I could go back through the toms archive and find an article that says every bit of this, including the part about intel delays.

Just stop until we actually have news to report. Please.

I don't think Larrabee will do so well. The article states that most people just buy Intel GPUs cause they're cheap and already on the motherboard. In fact, most poeple who have an Intel GPU probably just bought an off-the-shelf computer and don't even know what a GPU is (anyone actual CHOOSE to purchase an Intel GPU over an NVIDIA or ATI when going on-board?).

Intel is going to now have to convince people that the GPU is in fact worth extra money and space in the computer. The only way to do that is performance/price, and they haven't shown any evidence yet that they can compete in that market.

I'm interested in using vector texures in games, rather than inefficient raster ones, I'm wonder if this would force a move towards something like that?

This shit is totally biased. Try to generalize. Replace GOP with All Politicians, replace Fox News with all biased media, replace Comcast with Time Warner, remove Microsoft, replace Halliburton with War Profiteers, replace Scientology with all organized religion, Sony should be higher on the list, NRA should be removed too.

[citation][nom]buzznut[/nom]I think Apple and micro$oft need to switch places. Maybe Apple could be more like almost evil.I say throw out the NCAA and put the NBA right at the top next to M$.[/citation]

I agree with you.

Explain how it's appropriate for minorities to plan for their advancement in society, but in appropriate for white males to do so.

The NAACP only further serves to separate Black America, Mexican America, etc from America.

And you want to end that statement with a period, not a question mark. It was a command not a question.

How is it inappropriate for white males to plan for advancement in society? Do you understand what the NAACP is or do you just know that minorities are invovled.

Further more, it's inappropriate no in appropriate. One word buddy...
How in the world did you try to correct me and make that mistake. Also, it wasn't a command, but a request hence the question mark.
