Intel To Build 22nm Trigate Processors for Netronome

[citation][nom]TA152H[/nom]Maybe if NVIDIA stopped acting like petulent children, real companies might talk to them. They aren't a professional company at all, and their CEO is not at all professional. A CEO of a big company should be professional, and never say some of the stuff he does. He acts like he's someone off the street that can say whatever he wants, whenever he wants, and then whines because Intel won't make processors for him. Part of being CEO is to know when you can say what you want, and when you can't, and just take the high road rather than embarrass your company. If I were running Intel, I would never deal with this ass-clown. Maybe when he acts like an adult, and a CEO, Intel might talk to him. I'd be much less surprised if Intel did fab work for AMD instead. At least they have a grown-up running the company.[/citation]

U'r right, dude! He should learn a serious talk, just like other serious and professional companies - Enron, Lemon Brothers, etc.
At least he is a sincere guy unlike those "professional" suits with business degrees who care only about profits. We've seen them running so many companies into the ground, cheating customers and shareholders, etc. Yeah, real "professionals"!

[citation][nom]vittau[/nom]This.The only reason Intel isn't a giant in the GPU market is because it's a niche market and doesn't interest them.Face it, the average user doesn't need an HD7970, when an Intel HD integrated solution does the job just fine.[/citation]

Then why did they try to make Larrabee ? (and failed).

Let's just wait for Haswell next year. Early benchmarks are showing HD4000 will kill the $60 GPU market. Haskell could take that to above $100 and so on.

Seems to be a lot of confusion about the whole AMD vs Intel debate again. Just remember AMD's IPO. x64 anyone?

They didn't fail at Larrabee. It just wasn't worth the investment. They will now put the work done in Larrabbee into add on cards for servers that can do streaming and act as multicore VM systems. They will be very powerful add ins, but not solely graphics engines. The market for add on video is just too tight and integration is the future.

Actually, benchmarks show that HD 4000 could displace the most low end cards that are more like $1-40 such as the 6450. Even the Radeon 5550 is still much faster than the HD 4000 on the i7s. HD 4000 is still not a gaming IGP. This isn't good for AMD because most of their money is made through selling low end cards, but so long as they have cards at least as fast as the 6570 and faster brought down in price, the very low end graphics market may still depend on AMD. The problem for AMD comes in at that the HD 4000 is fast enough for anything but gaming, compute, and the like, basically anything that you wouldn't want a mid or high end card for.

HD 3000 is already enough for 1080p TV and the HD 4000 is more than enough for 3D 1080p for anyone who cares. Basically, it will be fast enough for anything and everything that the general masses will do on a computer. It probably won't do GPU acceleration all to well (although no worse than a 6450 does) like Llano's IGP, but it will be adequate.

It was doing exceptionally well, but Intel realized that the high end consumer graphics market is not very high profit because too few people buy from it. The high end professional and/or enterprise market, however, is full of profits, so they switched over.

i'll say it cuz no one else has.... Intel i740... it's not that they wouldn't want to or care about the market... it's just that they're never successful at it. intel does not dominate every market they're into. and often jump in and out of markets they could do very well in. Those that say there's not enough money in discrete graphics over looks the money AMD and nVidia make in it. If you have a product that produces and you can dictate pricing because of production efficiency, like intel can, then how can anyone say they couldn't take over the graphics market? because the fact is they do not have a product capable of doing that.

Nvidia is a tenth (or is it eleventh now? I'll have to check sometime) the size of Intel despite being a prat of many markets including but not limited to smart phone processors, desktop graphics and through it video games, and much more. AMD is only a little over half the size of Nvidia despite being a major player in both the x86 CPU and the desktop graphics markets.

The desktop graphics market does not have the huge profit margins of the enterprise/professional graphics market. This market makes so much more money. That is why Intel switched over from making a desktop graphics solution (Larrabee) to a workstation/server/super computer solution.

Yes, Intel darts in and out of some markets. For example, we see that Intel's original Atoms for the netbook were decent processors when they cam out, but Intel later on neglected the market and didn't make Atoms based on a new architecture/die shrink or make a complete replacement for them in netbooks.
