Larrabee has at least one positive thing that surrounds this
mystery product. This multi core mystery GPU / computational chip actually has
its own driver team.
Intel is still not happy with the number of people that it
has as it wants more. This driver will be the toughest part of Larrabee birth
and we can assure you that this new Intel GPU attempt will have many driver
issues. Just think for a second how many games is out on the market
and how many new games will be out from today till 2010 when this chip allegedly
has to arrive.
We are talking about tens of thousands of games that might have
compatibility and speed problems but Intel will naturally focus on top 20 and
try to make them as good as it possibly can.
This won’t change the fact that a semiconductor company never
made money on its first chip and Intel’s 740i was a nice attempt that failed
some ten years ago.
