This morning I was stunned to read pure FUD in a story by John Markoff in the NYTimes written in the present tense about a chip that doesn't exist. Then I learned that the WSJ simultaneously published the same exact FUD, the aspiration to create a single multi-core processor that will combine the CPU and GPU. It's a great idea, but no one has done it yet and Intel has a history of failing miserably when it comes to rendering graphics.
Markoff writes The new microprocessor family, code-named Larrabee, will be available in late 2009 or early 2010 and Don Clark say's not slated to hit the market until late 2009 or early 2010, I'll bet we don't see it for two years and it may be five years before anyone has the software.
Now following the NYT and the WSJ the announcement form Intel - First Details on a Future Intel Design Codenamed 'Larrabee'
