ATI Stream Technology with 8.12 Driver unlocked !

Larrabee is vapourware right now. Intel have never made a serious entry into the graphics realm, I doubt that they can pull it off. ATI have years of experience. Larrabee to me seems like a lot of puff from a company who want to distract attention from the lineup of Nvidia. Pity they can't just merge with Nvidia like they should have done years ago.

dude, Nvidia hates intel... Intel hates everyone but they like ati the most out the lot... and AMD has always been very close with Nvidia.

the fact of the matter is that there was never and possibly won't ever be a moment when Nvidia and Intel bud up.

But i think intel won't have any problem making Larrabee... rather it's the software that will screw them... there drivers have to be made to support 1000's of games. if they don't spend time on the drivers, and some games just don't work then people will feel very iffy about getting one.
that's why AMD was clever buying ATI as ati have already got support from games... Intel's basically can do well(slim chance), ok(chances are higher) or terrible(most likely situation)
 
I know Intel hates Nvidia. They bicker like children. That's what I mean - they can't just get over themselves.

that's true, Nvidia and Intel are so occupied by each other, I don't think that they are noticing what AMD's cooking up... You might find that larrabee isn't aimed for amd, rather it's aimed at Nvidia... this could end up quite well...

Both Electronic Arts and 2K Games have licensed PhysX technology from NVIDIA. So expect some nice titles to be PhysX supported in the next year or so. When you blow up stuff, you can see loads of scattered particles instead of a big texture doing weird stuff, fluid dynamics and other pretty cool stuff.

NVIDIA's business practices often if not always has allowed them to do better than ATI even when they didn't have necessarily the best silicon. A similar thing could very well happen here. Developer relations are going to be key in GPGPU applications going forward and in this regard NVIDIA is out there investing heavily. ATI seems bent on telling how much better than NVIDIA they are, which may be true but when you're looking to get a project up and running within a specific time frame, support and tools are number one. NVIDIA is far ahead of ATI here...

Whatever happens the future of computing looks very interesting :)
 
don't have to bribe, just threaten to sue him as it is their IP, but then also give him a job.
he gets paid, they keep physX in house and everyone is happy
