Intel Preparing Graphics Invasion With Larrabee Architecture

Our Comments

Larrabee is a radical departure from the idea of having monolithic architectures. The 32-core model that was shown at the launch of the Visual Computing Institute is only the beginning and as Intel has already demoed a chip with more than 1000 cores, there are chances that the semiconductor giant will aim to reach that number in the next decade or so.
