If you haven't
heard about Larrabee yet, you have been living under a rock. We have been following progress on the project since 2006 when we first heard mumblings about it – we can sum up the project very quickly with this. Larrabee is a many-core architecture design essentially based around a Pentium core with new features and vector processing units to better support floating point math used in graphics and parallel computing. Larrabee’s architecture will first be used to target the discrete graphics market and Intel believes that their design compared to current NVIDIA and AMD GPUs will enable “the next decade of innovation.”
