- pjmlp 13y agoLarrabee was also not directly meant for games. Intel was pushing for vector processing on the CPU as replacement for the GPGPUs. You don't need video hardware directly. Using Larrabee or now Xeon Phi would not be much different from doing 3D math with vector instructions or co-processors, like on the old days, before accelerated graphic cards became the norm in the PC world. The main issue is that so far Intel was not been able to produce anything that beats AMD or NVidias offerings in GPGPU market.
- varelse 13y agoI think this comparison says everything that needs to be said about Xeon Phi (for now): http://clbenchmark.com/compare.jsp?config_0=15887974&config_1=11905933 http://clbenchmark.com/compare.jsp?config_0=15887974&config_... Better luck next generation...
