In the beginning of this month Intel company reported plans with respect to the release of knight corner calculation accelerators, characterized by 50 cores, and it also demonstrated the real models of calculations accelerators knights ferry, characterized by 32 cores .
It occurs, Intel company already prepared ideological war with NVIDIA, since the published recently by the first of company document attempts to expose NVIDIA assertions about hundredfold superiority of video chip over processors in the sphere of parallel calculations. Intel Representatives took the processor core i 7-960 (3.2 GHz) and video card GeForce GTX 280 in order to compare their productivity in calculation acceleration. As asserts Intel document published, the average value of the break between GeForce GTX 280 and Core i 7-960 in a number of specific tests composed only 2,5 time. Maximum break was equal to 14,9- multiple value.
Intel company asserts test was conducted through the optimization of program both under four core processor core i 7-960 and under the video card Geforce GTX 280 with the support of CUDA platform. However, NVIDIA representatives are inclined to consider that the optimization of tests under GeForce GTX 280 was not fully. In any case, the superiority of NVIDIA products over Intel processors in the sphere of calculation acceleration is obvious. Related Products :
