Intel is to unveil details about its multi-core Larrabee
chip, which is aimed at the PC graphics market and is expected in
2009 or 2010.
Larrabee will be the industry's first multi-core x86 Intel
architecture, and will be based on an array of processors. The
individual processors are similar to those that power the internet,
along with the PCs, laptops and servers that access and network to
it.
Intel will present a
paper
describing the features and capabilities of
Larrabee at the
SIGGRAPH 2008
graphics-industry conference in Los Angeles next Tuesday.
Last month, Intel
posted record second-quarter sales of £4.75bn with a 67%
year-on-year increase in operating profits to £1.15bn.
