Intel seem to be pushing it as a GPU replacement. Not a CPU replacement or a third processor. They're getting board partners like AMD/Nvidia have. They were even targeting next-gen consoles though delays and missinh performance targets stopped that. The eventual goal, of both AMD and Intel, is to put the GPU on the CPU die then use each one for the tasks its suited for. Hence AMD's Fusion, and Intel's GPU die on CPU package. Larrabee is certainly a high-end product, considering it needs its own card and will draw like 300W of power. For low-power and embedded, Intel is putting their G4x type graphics on the CPU Package (Clarkdale, Arrandale (Nehalem dual + GPU_ and Pinetrail (Atom+GPU)). |
yea, It may seem that way, but you also have to take into account the mobo manuf. that make board's, look how long it took for the ISA port to be removed from Mobo's it took quite a while even though the PCI slot was vastly better.
Not to say it will not happen, It very well could but in the short term it's very unlikely.
which having the Hybrid core only help's GPU's not hinder's, think about this if the MOBO manuf. only have to adjust the socket like they have been instead of ignoring the big problem, the majority of GPU's are on PCI express slot's, which is one of the main uses of that slot.
adding the GPU core to the CPU would in no way hinder that unless they remove the PCI express slot's.
which is why I stated this is a prime example for embedded processor's, which has most of the time smaller MOBO's like example :
Pico ITX , or Mini-ITX.
laptop's would also be a prime example.
but for game rig's it's most likely going to be just an advantage to have it in the processor on top of having GPU's
I AM BOLO
