Larrabee: Intel's biggest leap since the Pentium Pro | |
|

| Time: 19:23 EST/00:23 GMT | News Source: Ars Technica | Posted By: Jonathan Tigner | ||

Since the primitive 4004 chip first designed for a line of calculators, Intel has been a processor company. And in all of the company's decades of processor design and fabrication, Intel has seen only one truly disruptive change in the basic microarchitecture of its processors: the Pentium Pro, which dramatically improved on the performance of its predecessor, the Pentium, by introducing an execution model that dynamically reshuffled the instruction stream for optimal execution. Intel's forthcoming Larrabee product, which the company revealed in an extended briefing on Friday, is the second major disruptive change to Intel's core processor business since the Pentium Pro. I'll justify this claim at a later date with a more extended treatment of Larrabee, but for today I'll cover the highlights from the Friday briefing. | ||

"the part's performance on any given test will be largely dependent on how much effort the Larrabee team did or didn't spend optimizing Larrabee's software stack for that particular game or application."
Good luck with that. Sounds like nVidia and AMD have little to worry about at this time. |

| If Intel perfects this capabiliyt, it will be obilivion for AMD/ATI and Nvidia. Two stocks that have been beaten nearly to death in this economic slowdown. |

| It would be a sad day if Intel had no significant competition. We all know what happens when a market get monopolized ... zero innovation. |
