Intel Larrabee to go Quad in 2010?

Posted on Tuesday, May 13 2008 @ 0:30 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck
VR Zone claims Intel's second-generation Larrabee GPU will be released in 2010 or 2011. The site believes this chip may have a chance against NVIDIA's future offerings, the second-gen Larrabee will feature many more cores on a 32nm process technology and will support Quad Larrabee cards.
Clearly, Intel's strategy here is to increase the number of cores per GPU and increase the number of Larrabee GPUs supported per platform.

This is possible due to their advanced fab and process technology, an area which fabless Nvidia has little control over and has to rely on TSMC's process technology.
