Intel graphics processor deletes "Larrabee"

Intel graphics processor deletes "Larrabee"


The chip will be used only as a platform for software development apple macbook pro battery. As is reason to Intel, that the development of the planning behind Larrabee ago. Analysts see the poor performance of the GPU as a true cause.


Intel launched its planned multi-GPU "Larrabee" but not on the market. According to company spokesman Nick Knupffer he will instead come internally and from selected partners as a platform for software development are used apple macbook pro 13 battery.


As mentioned Knupffer reason that the development of the chip and the related development lags far behind the original plan. The analyst Jon Peddie Research are against the view that Intel with Larrabee does not reach the self-imposed performance targets. In November, Intel CTO Justin Rattner demonstrated at the Supercomputing Conference SC09 a Larrabee chip with a computing power of one teraflop kodak klic-8000 battery. "This is great, but you can buy for a few hundred dollars an ATI graphics card that said 5 Teraflops achieved", Jon Peddie.


Intel had postponed the market launch of Larrabee and over again. Originally, the 2008 graphics chip already come onto the market and compete with graphics cards from Nvidia and ATI konica minolta np-400 battery.


On the plans for its first CPU with integrated graphics Intel holds. The new Atom processors konica minolta np-600 battery, codenamed "Pineview" should not appear this month.
