Intel, NVIDIA Take Shots At CPU vs. GPU Performance

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."

    Wow. Whatever drugs your on, better lay off before they kill you or someone puts you out of our misery. You might also want professional help for your serious closet homosexuality.

    To the rest of the Slashdot community: Sorry for feeding the trolls.

    Jeusus Christ, man. Use common sense. Intel was founded by, is operated by, and is populated with raging homosexuals. Ipso facto, Intel is gay.
