Intel Larrabee development boards coming in November?
Posted on Jul 22, 08 10:55 AM PDT
It has been reported that Intel’s Larrabee-based graphics card will be available to developers - either internal or “select”, in my opinion. First hardware is first used internally to validate that every chip part is working, then, the small quantities of boards are split between hardware and software teams to work out the kinks and bring the drivers up to speed. The software (drivers) was likely built using an “emulator”, which is not a fun process. Finally, when things are somewhat in order, it is possible to send boards to external developers.
If you missed it, Larrabee is Intel’s upcoming graphics processor (GPU) that will compete directly with NVIDIA and ATI.
