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."

    Ah, so functional programming is the silver bullet! I knew we'd find it sooner or later.

    Oh, bullshit. Stop acting persecuted because the chip you like was developed by a corporation who can't get good PR when people hand it to them. A martyr complex isn't witty or persuasive, it just rallies the people who already agree in the first place. It's also excessively irritating to read.
