NV55 pravi:
Under the belt
What's even more worrying is the fact that Intel will undoubtedly hit
both green camps under the belt with Larrabee. For now, they appear to
accept the fact that rasterization is still hip in the gaming world,
but Larrabee has the potential to do much more, they made sure we all
know that. First of all, there's raytracing. This may be the ultimate
in providing super realistic graphics and fantastic special effects.
and Intel is banging the war drum on this subject. Nvidia and AMD have
nothing in this area as of right now

This is not true. AMD, as you know, has it's HyperTransport capability.
There are FPGAs already on the market *now* (and have been for some
time) that work with HyperTransport (or even fit an AM2 socket) that are
perfectly capable of exactly what the Larrabee core is promising to be
in some distant point in the future.
