In its teleconference, Intel gave little new information on Visual Computing and the Larrabee.

Unsurprisingly, the company insists on the flexibility of its platforms (meaning the multi-core CPU, chipset and graphics plus software and associated developer tools) conceived with the above in mind and physics.


Moreover, the CPU giant confirmed that the architecture upon which the Larrabee cores are based is similar to that of the Atom and the first demonstrations should be this year. Well aware that the support of developers was crucial if it wanted to break into the 3D market, the firm promises that the software supporting Larrabee architecture will offer unparalleled freedom.
