Developers would be using the previous version of Larrabee to make their games but it seems to make more sense to pick up the 2nd generation Larrabee as it is released in the same year the Xbox 720 is expected to arrive. It shouldn't be too hard to design it around Larrabee 1 and then when Larrabee 2 becomes available slot that into the system instead. |
If Intel design Larrabee 2 alongside with Larrabee 1 then how are they going to implement the feedback of the industry..? They already have the massive failure of itanium where they tried to dictate the industry and if they move along those lines in GPU front also then i believe they r going to face another epic failure...
so they should only design Larrabee 2 atleast 6 months after the launch of Larrabee 1 and which will be a little too late for MS to incorporate Larrabee 2 in their next XBOX... so MS has only chance of incorporating Larrabee 1 in their next XBOX... and i think it will be a bit foolish on MS part to go with the first generation of larrabee...
