Intel Teases New Larrabee Details

[Guest]

Santa Clara (CA) - Siggraph is just around the corner, so it should not be too surprising that Intel is talking more seriously about Larrabee, a discrete graphics product due for launch in "2009 or 2010".

Oh,the future looks bright.

Holy jebus....they doubled ATIs highest bus....1024bit.....pair that with GDDR5 and oohhh....the bandwidth...

Isn't the idea behind this CPU/GPU somewhat similar to the Cell processor and its vector engines?

Backwards compatibility with current NVDA/ATI gaming solutions....I'm S.O.L.D.

two please!

As long as it will play Sims 3 fluently, it'll sold like hot cake.

I think your referring to NVidia. ATI is still using 256 it, albeit with GDDR5. the GTX280 has a 512 bit bus.

I am wondering what kind of power supply will be needed to support something like this.

10000W minimum PSU *lol*
So all in all it WILL be able to run farcry at 60fps, but you'll need a 15000W PSU to do it hahaha

Actually no. ATI had a 512bit bus before nVidia. The HD2900 series was running a 512bit ring bus interface. But due to higher power requirements and higher heat dissipation, ATI dropped it for a 256bit bus paired with GDDR5 (HD4800 series+).

nVidia is planning 512bit bus for the G300 which is nearly 3 years after ATI did.
