If this becomes the way of the future, anyone who doesnt have a x86 license is in trouble

I'm pretty sure ray tracing is the way things are going. It's going to need at least 8 and probably 16 cores to do it properly.

Depends on the ability of the cgpu. If they can merge then more on the gpu side, itll make a huge difference.

It looks like Intel is the one pushing ray tracing, so I'm sure they will provide what is needed from a hardware standpoint.

Reply to Zorg

That may be. ATI/AMD has been awfully queit on this

I'm sure they will jump on the bandwagon, as soon as their done putting out fires.

AMD might actually have a leg up in the background. They're covered on both sides, they have GPUs and CPUs. They may just be waiting to see where the market goes.

Reply to San Pedro

good point there pedro...

this may be where AMD can get back in the game, the GPU advantage should help them here alot

I agree with you partially dev1se. It will all depend on what Intel can deliver with Larrabee.

If, like it's been said, it's "suxk" at Dx10.1 graphic, it might not even get a chance to show what it can do for Ray-Tracing. I just hope it will work for Intel, and that AMD-NVidia can get up to the game, because the result look very promising... plus I don't want it to become "Intel-only" playground.

My 2 cents!!!
