Intel says 48 core graphics is just over the horizon

Intel releases the graphs of Larrabee notch for the high play at end of PC towards the end of 2009 or 2010, but the company speaks already to the top of the possibilities of the piece in a new paper.

According to the model, Larrabee will comprise between eight and 48 cores, which will have high-speed intercommunication and increase the piece the 'capacity of S to carry out multiple tasks simultaneously.

For example, Intel discusses that by having greater numbers of smaller cores, instead of the simple cores or duels, Larrabee will be able to support better experiments for gamers - a public targets principal.

He 's purely coincide that the update comes the days just before AMD updates journalists on his strategy of graphs and reveals new silicon at its top of CTO in Iceland.

Larry Seiler, a principal engineer principal at Intel, known as of the journalists to the revealing of paper - doubled Larrabee: An architecture of the Much-Core x86 for the calculation of visual - that the piece overcomes the limitations of the processors of current graphs. He added that he provides �the full capacities of programming of central processing unit of treatment� to side �of the parallelism which is inherent in the processors of graphs�.

Larrabee supports Microsoft 's DirectX and api of OpenGL, which will help the programmers of software to create the visual one and the intensive applications of graphs which benefit fully from the piece.

Larrabee will support standards of IEEE for the arithmetic one at simple mobile point and double precision, which is already described in models of AMD and Nivida GPU.

The search for Jon Peddie (JPR) stated Bloomberg that success on the high market at end of graphs could add to $4bn at Intel 'sales of S in 2010 - provided carries out to him like the rival pieces of Nvidia and AMD.

The last figures of JPR prove that units of 94.4m GPU were embarked during first quarter of this year, representing a fall of 0.5 percent of the preceding quarter. However, forwardings raised 16 percent of the same period in 2007.

Intel took the position of post in Q1, with 47.3 percent of the market, while Nvidia - which denied it today leaves the market of tiddlywinks - and AMD took market shares of 31.4 percent and 18.1 percent respectively.
