It'll be a great technical achievement, but much like the Itanium it'll fail because it won't be quite as good as a specialised GPU or CPU of the time. Also, have you seen the die size and rumoured TDP? It'll be the largest die of any serious tech product ever and consume close to 300W... and still not beat Nvidia or AMD due to the compromises made for it to be x86 compatible. "Mike, you can say what you want, but an in order, RISC CPU is not what Joe Sixpack needs in his PC." Um, we're all running RISC CPUs. x86 is translated to an internal instruction set which is RISC in nature. |
Its still an unknown what TDP they are aiming for, what clock speed they are aiming for and which process node was used to create the samples that we have seen. Its all up in the air at present.
Tease.
