Barence sends this excerpt from PC Pro: "Nvidia has delivered a
scathing criticism of Intel's Larrabee, dismissing the multi-core
CPU/GPU as wishful thinking — while admitting it needs to catch up with
AMD's current Radeon graphics cards. 'Intel is not a stupid company,'
conceded John Mottram, chief architect for the company's GT200 core.
'They've put a lot of people behind this, so clearly they believe it's
viable. But the products on our roadmap are competitive to this thing
as they've painted it. And the reality is going to fall short of the
optimistic way they've painted it. As [blogger and CPU architect] Peter
Glaskowsky said, the "large" Larrabee in 2010 will have roughly the
same performance as a 2006 GPU from Nvidia or ATI.' Speaking ahead of
the opening of the annual NVISION expo on Monday, he also admitted
Nvidia 'underestimated ATI with respect to their product.'"
