Intel Developer Forum, Day One: Intel Thinks Small

[Guest]

This year’s Intel Developer’s Forum conference seems more notable for secondary technologies and what’s absent than about what’s being announced. Or, at least, that’s how it seems. On the other hand, there has been an intense focus on all things small.

The technology develops so quick that it's hard to convince myself to buy what's out now. It's going to be dated in like 3 months 🙁

But progress is always good. Keep up the good work Intel!

So to sum up, Intel is hard at work making things smaller, they still probably suck at making GPUs, and are trying to hide in shame a little bit at their past practices. Did I forget to mention anything?

Progress is sweeeeet!

If you can't see the need for competition and advancement, maybe you should explore other, more timeless hobby such as amateur stone grinding.

For the rest of us, we like to see technology progress.

many smalls things make a big thing

I would suspend judgment until something more meaningful has come up with this project of Intel. Making things smaller is good, but making it work better is an another story.

we can't deny, things HAVE to be smaller in the future

But it’s certainly an inauspicious demo, and if anything was clear from the demo, Larrabee still has a long ways to go.

I think you mean "long WAY to go." I'm going to run aways from you, you bad bad grammarman yous.

Intel IS a bully. I love what they're doing, I just don't like how they go about it sometimes. We need competition. Period. If Intel gets too big, I'd rather it tumble and leave two smaller competitors in its place. In the long run it will be better for consumers.

Intel is looking promising as far as tech goes right now. They really upped their game in the recent years. Sucks for AMD, I like AMD, dislike Intel, but there's no denying who's on top.

lol +1 for JonnyDough XD

I sense robot's in the near future....
that can pick up dogcrap, and that's all....

CPUs can do "almost realtime" ray tracing as well. It's called a progressive ray tracer. Hard to tell exactly what they used here because the camera isn't moving. A progressive ray tracer would be very obvious if they moved the camera, and if it looked grainy or unrefined while moving then you know they are only tracing a relatively small number of rays per second to improve the "framerate"
