The Larrabee will be a standalone graphics chip to deliver stream processing (GP-GPU) performance, enabling full CPU programmability and support for OpenGL and DirectX APIs carrying many x86 architecture-based cores.
Intel shared details with the press about their discrete GPU chip - Larrabee at San Francisco. As part of Intel's Tera-scale research program, the Larrabee will be a standalone graphics chip to deliver stream processing (GP-GPU) performance, enabling full CPU programmability and support for OpenGL and DirectX APIs carrying many x86 architecture-based cores. However, Intel didn't share the number cores in Larrabee and how they'll be different from the graphic chips used by Nvidia and AMD-ATI.
Based on the Pentium processor core design, the Larrabee chips are scalable from 8 to 48 cores. Larrabee's design is enhanced with vector processing unit, multi-threading, 64-bit extensions, and pre-fetching. The x86 design will offer full support to current graphical APIs. With support for highly parallel computing applications, developers can develop new highly specialised graphics APIs as well as generic CPU APIs for new features.
Larry Seiler, chief architect of Intel's visual computing group, said, "What the graphics and general data parallel application market needs is an architecture that provides the full programming abilities of a CPU, and the full capabilities of a CPU together with the parallelism inherent in graphics processors. This is exactly what the Larrabee provides, and is a practical solution to the limitations of current graphics processors."
