LOL, too right!

Looks like they maybe coming end of this year in conjunction with Nehalem.

Fingers chuffin crossed!

Last I read they are only "Sampling" Larabee by the end of the year. I think all we can expect from intel is the hybrid of Nehalem + GMA on 1 chip. It's a low performance gpu for entry level systems.

I suspect that early Larabee will be fairly low performance, with only a small number of cores. But if it works fairly well, then it does have the potential to scales, as the idea is the cores will be more than "shaders" they are highly optimized and modified general purpose CPU's programmed using a modified X86 instruction set. I dont think Nvidia will have anything to worry about from Larabee in the GPU market for a few years... but its an interesting prospect. 3GPU players would certainly make the battles for high end performance and price interesting.

Oh, I read end of this year. I guess we don't have anything concrete yet then.

I really hope Nehalem is out by at least Jan 09 as I'm waiting to build my PC!

Nehalem will release at the end of this year, but with very limited quantities and only the Extreme high end chips available for public retail. Additional cheaper and lower spec CPUs will follow in H1 2009.

Not according to the roadmap on the cpu thread. All three versions of Nehalem to be released Q4 2008 which is October - December.

Although expect extreme out first, with the other two out by Christmas.

from hardocp
At first we think Nehalem will only available in uber high end when it meet the launch date, but according to the new roadmap, Intel has already prepared three Bloomfield with different clock for different class of users. Till now other spec still TBD and we will wait for Intel’s notice.
The Bloomfield for Extreme class clocks at 3.2GHz, performance class Bloomfield runs at 2.92GHz, the lowest one run is 2.66GHz, which Anandtech have already run several benchmarks with.
It seems Intel still not make up their mind how to call Bloomfield commercially so we still need to wait for their next roadmap update.
BTW, the first 45nm dual core CPU will enter Value class in Q3 this year. The CPU will be E5200. E5200 will take over the E2220’s place because E2220 will enter End of Lifecycle in Q3.

So we need to wait and see

Dont know a lot which company is biggest but surely if Intel put some effort into it, they could do GPU's as good as the other two, they have enough money to hire good people.
Would be very good for another player in the market.

lmao.....that's is exactly what Intel is doing but their cards won't be here until next year.
 
Lmao off to you if you read the thread properly somebody mentioned that they wont be able to do a good job as Nvidia and ATI.
Maybee I should have stated this before I got another one of those typical comments that this forum dishs out.

Heres the line for ya just to jog your memory

do you lot think intel GPU's will beat nvidia and ati who has been doing this for years???

be quality if so........when will this be happening if anyone knows?
 
the problem for Intel, is that there driver writers have only ever produced sub-par drivers for IGP's. Lots of good to reasonable hardware has been let down by bad drivers in the past from other dedicated GPU manufacturers, S3, Matrox, ATI pre Radeon 8500 days. Intel has a lot of catch up to do to get into game dev's and ensure the coding performs well and correctly on their hardware.
