Intel, NVIDIA Take Shots At CPU vs. GPU Performance

Posted by kdawson on from the army-boots dept.

MojoKid writes "In the past, NVIDIA has made many claims of how porting various types of applications to run on GPUs instead of CPUs can tremendously improve performance — by anywhere from 10x to 500x. Intel has remained relatively quiet on the issue until recently. The two companies fired shots this week in a pre-Independence Day fireworks show. The recent announcement that Intel's Larrabee core has been re-purposed as an HPC/scientific computing solution may be partially responsible for Intel ramping up an offensive against NVIDIA's claims regarding GPU computing."

    I am now posting using my GPU. It's at least 50x faster!

      The other earlier posts however seem to suffer from some sort of processing or data corruption/error.
