That's 200 simultaneous threads. Wow. That's almost like a GPU.

- modeless 16y agoThat's because it is a GPU. It's Larrabee. Intel couldn't get enough graphics performance out of it to compete with GeForce and Radeon in the graphics card market. However, they can still compete in the GPGPU market, where the specialized graphics hardware that GeForce and Radeon have is less of an advantage, and Larrabee's x86 compatibility is actually useful. Intel is afraid that GPGPU is going to encroach on their CPU turf, and this is their answer.
