Intel Reveals the Future of the CPU-GPU War

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the state-of-the-chip dept.

Arun Demeure writes "Beyond3D has once again obtained new information on Intel's plans to compete against NVIDIA and AMD's graphics processors, in what the Chief Architect of the project presents as a 'battle for control of the computing platform.' He describes a new computing architecture based on the many-core paradigm with super-wide execution units, and the reasoning behind some of the design choices. Looks like computer scientists and software programmers everywhere will have to adapt to these new concepts, as there will be no silver bullet to achieve high efficiency on new and exotic architectures."

    Intel doesn't go around telling us that their design will push 17 hojillion gigazoxels, with more computing power than Deep Blue, HAL, and I AM put together, in order to render better-than-real detail in realtime while simultaneouslly giving you a handjob and ordering flowers for your gf.
