Intel has unveiled its Larrabee graphics chip. This is Intel’s first discrete graphics card in several years. It is built to compete with Nvidia and ATI GPUs.
Larrabee is expected to become commercially available sometime next year. Initially it will be aimed at the gaming market. The chip was demonstrated on stage during Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco. The demonstration involved running the game ‘Enemy Territory: Quake Wars’. The research scientists associated with the chip claimed that ‘it allows a user to simulate the interaction of lights and action and make it more accurate’. Larrabee also takes fewer lines of code to render the images.
Larrabee uses the ray-tracing technique to render images. Most processors currently available in the market use vector processing technique which isn’t very good at rendering lifelike images.
