Since we
talked to one of the most important people in the graphics world, if not the most important guy in this world, we had to mention Intel’s attempt at making a GPU codenamed Larrabee.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang shares our opinion, and he believes that when it comes to the GPU part of the business, Larrabee is not a big threat. At the same time, according to Jensen, Intel recognizes that having its own is too important to be ignored, and that Intel simply admires GPUs, and desires one of its own. We believe that he is on the right track.

However Larrabee will be very good when it comes to a parallel data processing and it will definitely give Nvidia’s parallel computing a run for its money. This is where Jensen sees Intel future GPU-like chip as a threat.

Jensen expects many driver related issues with Larrabee and as GPU and gaming device, he sees a multitude of potential issues when it launches. At the same time, Larrabee has yet to come, and Nvidia will start to worry about it more once it actually launches.
