The project larrabee from intel company will give life to multicore product with graphic chip architecture , which will be used for accelerating specialized calculations. Will also Intel release discrete graphical solutions, associates was able to extract from intel ( this pdf 3 mb.) the interesting slides, tell about larrabee destination .
First , it is desirable to note the card on base of chip larrabee with interface PCI express x16 (PCI express 2.0) and two additional power connector (6 + 8 pins). Already from the presence of these two connector it is possible to understand that this card consumes more than 150 W power...
Video chip can contain from 16 to 24 cores, working at frequency 1.7-2.5 GHz. Memory volume can reach 2 Gb. This card, according to intel concept , will be occupied by physics acceleration , tasks with artificial intellect and ray tracing. The speed level will be measured in teraflop. The prototypes of such video card actually exist.
The characteristics of processors sandy bridge (Gesher), which will be released in 2010 on 32 nm technology. They will have new architecture in comparison with predecessors ( architecture nehalem ) . According to the document , the frequency of processors sandy bridge can reach 4.0 GHz, the quantity of core vary from 4 to 8 pieces, the cache volume in the first level will be equal to 32 KB, the second level - 512 KB, the third level - 2-3 mb. For communication with other components system these processors will use system bus CSI as predecessors generation nehalem/larrabee.
We hope that in this year will appear new details about project larrabee.... Related Products :
