QUOTE "We just got off the phone with Nick Knupffer of Intel, who confirmed something that has long been speculated upon: the fate of Larrabee. As of today, the first Larrabee chip’s retail release has been canceled. This means that Intel will not be releasing a Larrabee video card or a Larrabee HPC/GPGPU compute part."

In hindsight, using a serial architecture (X86) for massivly parallel tasks may not have been the best idea...

Again, until CPU's can handle massivly parallel tasks, the GPU isn't going anywhere.

they wanted to have a software only rendering pipeline , which they found out would underperform than native dx silicon imo . and nvidia's fermi has impressive dual precision for scientific workloads . also , i read about ati's cypress performing rather well in openCL benchmarks , part of sisoft sandra 2010 .

x86 cores are too heavyweight ,as fermi has 512 cores on one chip which are lighter than x86 and were designed with massively parallel from the start .

Reply to cyberkuberiah

openCL has a big part to play on the future , like physics and stuff .
