Nvidia Uses Cartoon to Tease Intel Larrabee Delay
Nvidia pokes at Intel's Insides.
When it came to reactions surrounding Intel's decision to effectively cancel the release of its first version of Larrabee, Nvidia was a company of few words.
Much to your dismay, all Nvidia could muster up as a response was, "The fact that a company with Intel's technical prowess and financial resources has struggled so hard to succeed with parallel computing shows just how exceptionally difficult a challenge this is," said by Victor Martinez, a spokesman for Nvidia.
Those of you hoping for more fightin' words will hopefully find a thousand more in the latest Intel's Insides cartoon from Nvidia.

Very nice... made me smile for a bit
Too bad intel is shooting down the larrabee project, I had good hopes for it.
Dear Santa, I wish the day when we will have no GPUs at all. I wish the day when I want more processing power I just add another PU (processing unit) to my PC. Dear Santa make all these incompatible hardwares go away!
Haha... that cartoon it reminds me kind of NVIDIA sitting on Santa's knees and wishing GPU too (Fermi).
No that's no Intel that's NIVIDA.
This time ATI got them all by the balls!
Santa's too busy fondling Intel's ass to care what he wants for Christmas!
pretty cocky for a company that's been getting it's ass handed to them by ati for months now. but i guess thats how it goes. a year from now it might be the other way around.
Just when I was thinking they were getting soft. (Their initial response to the Larrabee delay was almost professional).
Good to see the green team hasn't changed.
You know, ATI might have a faster card at the moment but that sure as hell doesn't mean they are SLAUGHTERING NVIDIA. Where does this crap come from? Anyway, cartoon is pretty witty. Also, I am officially NOT a fan boy of any kind. Well, maybe Photoshop but that's a different ballpark.
For months lol. Yea we all know how this cycle works. Ati is ahead now then Nvidia will release something and be ahead etc etc etc. Whats funny is ATI now has AMD behind them and they have yet to release something that is Truly an Nvidia killer. By adding Cudda Nvidia raised the stakes overall. Yes I know ATI has something similar but it does not seem to be embraced yet. I would love to see Nvidia comeout with there own CPU. An all Nvidia system me thinks would raise the bar on the whole CPU market.

Your an idiot, the 4870 was an Nvidia killer when it came out.
This made my day
Your an idiot, the 4870 was an Nvidia killer when it came out.
Then you must be a bigger idiot. One, for calling someone else an idiot and two, for apparently not reading his post and/or taking his comment out of context. He said "Truly." At the time, it barely beat the GTX 280...
Not to mention they leapfrog each other constantly. I have to agree...the 4870 was hardly a killer. It was marginally better at best.

WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN........get out from under you rock man, ATI went king, all you can do is sit and wait to see what NVIDIA is doin all this time.
Bwa ha ha. Funny
. Oh well. Intel really needs to release Larabee as a developer product for now. If they can get developers to write cool software for it, then they can hope to make it relevant and perhaps go from there to a consumer product. If developers give it a pass, then it's pretty doomed.
Where is Fermi?
Amd is KING right now. I previously had a 8800 and then upgrade to the HD5870. Despite the 8800 having dx11 support, the HD5870 just SLAUGHTERS the 8800. It's not even remotly close. Amd is a king. But most importantly Amd got their drivers figured out which in the past was so annoying.
See nvidia can make as much PR propaganda as they wish but when it comes to actually making a card they have some catching up todo
Seams to me Nvidia is selling plenty of cards based upon the quality of their drivers vs ATI's if nothing else. ATI may have the fastest cards but what percentage of buyers actually can afford them. If you aim only slightly lower like most of us Nvidia is more than competitive except for DX11. ATI has always had buggy drivers and still does according to the reviews I read.

ATI's video cards are quite cheap nowadays. Have you seen the prices drop on these things lately?
Stupid of NVidia to do this, it's like tempting fate. Everyone should know not to tempt the bear. Just cause it looks slow and cuddly doesn't mean it can't rip your face off the moment it gets within reach.
Nvidia has a long and succesfull past in GPU market, so it will be back... or I really hope so. A lot is up to their goal. Is it fast graphic or powerfull Seti-calculator...

Duh! It's only 2 generations newer tech. LOL!!!
"the HD5870 just SLAUGHTERS the 8800."
Care to guess which one was released 2 generations after the other?
(...) Despite the 8800 having dx11 support, the HD5870 just SLAUGHTERS the 8800. (...)
The sentence above doesn't make sense. The 8800 does NOT have DX11 support. It doesn't even have DX10.1 support, just DX10. So there is no "despite".
Yeah marginally better for a fraction of the price.
I don't think I would buy a CPU coming from Nvidia. no no.
WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN........get out from under you rock man, ATI went king, all you can do is sit and wait to see what NVIDIA is doin all this time.
couldnt agree more... ati came out with dx11 cards that are better than current nvidia gpu flagship... and eyeinfinity adds to the pain... nvidia's fermi nowhere to be seen.. if current rumour are true, fermi can come out as late as q2 2010 which is when ati plan to come out with new gpu flagship... NVIDIA will be 1 generation BEATEN by then!
You dont need an official body to hands out the gpu crown to determine who's on top... nope, you just need your brain...
lol nothing about ati in this and ofc this becomes an ATI fanboy vs Nvidia fanboy war. lol you can't trash something that isn't out ie fermi as thats like trashing hover boots which don't exist you can't be fair if you never even seen the product. Intel failure to get larabee out on time releases pressure on nvidia to rushing the fermi out as there will be no gpgpu competition in a sense on htp. So what if 5870 whips all nvidia products ati is the one loosing out here when the production cycle still only yeilds 50% over at tsmc.

NVIDIA has started reporting losses (at least last quarter) and has lost a lot of market share to ATI. I'd call that slaughtering.

They were at 80%+ before tsmc just happened to have a calibration error that somehow went unnoticed for 2 months. Even at 50% it beats the pants off the 2% yield Nvidia got back from its A2 fermi silicon. Ati didn't showcase a fake card recently either. Nice wood screws Ace....
The irony of all this is, who has the greatest share of the GPU market? Intel! One thing I have often seen in life, it is not those who have the best products that succeed. In my own setup, I have 4 computers, one with a Nvidia Gt9600 (I realize this is only basic, but it plays most games well), the other 3 with Intel. I only need one reasonable graphics card, the rest of my work computers only need to run Linux and Windows and Intel is fine for this and cheap as well.
its just like how AMD was king years ago and now intel is back on top. it will change again soon. its no an opinion its how things work.
nvidia has been king of the hill for 3 years now, just because ati has a better card for a few months , hardly makes them them king! nvidia is just letting them have their 15 minutes of fame
