Official - Project Offset PC exclusive - ...

To demonstrate its horsepower, Intel will have to have at least one compelling launch title %26ndash; and to make sure that it will exploit everything Larrabee has to offer, the company purchased Offset Software in early 2008. There have been a few screens available so far and today we received two more that showcase the direction Offset is thinking. Still images can't tell the whole story and we are careful voicing any opinion how capable Project Offset will be.Link to the whole article - here. Official - Project Offset PC exclusive - ...

how much will larrabee cost?
[QUOTE=''footfoe2'']how much will larrabee cost?[/QUOTE] There is a model planned to be used as an onboard card, so Im sure they will have many differnt variations.
YES!. And the new pictures look great. If they pack PO in for free with one of those cards maybe i will buy one...probably not though.

If nVidia and ATi get killed off because of this, consider gaming dead
So its now not going to the PS3 or the 360? Intresting...
[QUOTE=''Wasdie'']So its now not going to the PS3 or the 360? Intresting...[/QUOTE]Yep i think people caught on with that soon as Intel bought themSeriously, i would not want Intel to ever compete in the graphics market, its hard enough as it is keeping up with current techonlogy, what happens when you put Intels totally different architecture into the equation
I remember when this was a tech demo for DX10. Was going to 360 and PC. Fell off the radar after that. I'm sure it will look nice, but not expecting much of a game for some reason.
[QUOTE=''FirstDiscovery'']If nVidia and ATi get killed off because of this, consider gaming dead[/QUOTE]only nvidia would die, since ati would just launch their own onboard chipset with amd. Personally, I see this as a nice foward move, graphic card are expensive and are slowing down pc gaming growth
so no consoles verion? mmmmay get for PC if it is really good
This game looks and sounds amazing.

I am an Nvidia fanboy and I don't want to see Nvidia suffer but something has to be done from a hardware standpoint to improve what is there now. Introducing a new card every 3 months that is slightly better than the old one is getting rather tired and I welcome any change my friends (lol Aenima Lyrics for you tool fans) that might see an evolution in pc gaming
Maybe Nvidia and ATi will support PC exlusive titles to promote their cards?

The same could happen with GPUs. Im sick of having to constantly upgrade as it is, and both nVidia and AMD have good plansUnfortunately, AMD arent in a great position and ATi is what is keeping them affloat
also from the article:''The other piece of news Offset and Intel will announce on Monday is the relaunch of Offset's community forum at 10 AM PST. We hear the Offset team is ''excited'' to be back online and touch base with users again. That is, of course, because Offset hopes to get user feedback on the game title it is developing. ''YES! finally! i hope this means they'll be updating their site moar too. Also, will the game and the GPU actually launch on the same day I wonder?
nVidia dead?Weren't they called by Forbes the best company of 07? Everybody is blowing hot air just because they made a mistake with G92 and G94.Christ, they are far from it.

Everybody is blowing hot air just because they made a mistake with G92 and G94.Christ, they are far from it.[/QUOTE]If Intel succeeds with Larrabee, nVidia is effectively dead.AMD/ATi are already working on their own ''answer'' to Larrabee but nVidia's only answer is CUDA. And after that, they are sweating what could happen.Look at NVISION 2008. They spent 4 days putting down Larrabee calling it ''marketing puff'' and ''only equal to GPU's from 2006''Truth is they are scared sh*tless at the thought of x86 taking over the GPU industry in addition to the CPU industry....nVidia doesn't have any expertise with anything other than Hardware Rendering. The idea of a Software Rendering based GPU matching or beating them is unbelievable and scary. They can't honestly hope to compete with that.... AMD/ATi on the other hand isn't sweating it. They are just scaling back their push for the high end GPU's and matching nVidia, waiting until their own answer to Larrabee is ready or needed(if Larrabee fails they will likely redesign it as a server CPU or something.).
Isn't project offset practically vaporware though? I mean I haven't seen anything new in ages. It doesn't even have a real name for crying out loud.
