Random Talk

I am talking processors. ATI graphics cards for me. However, once Intel and AMD release CPU's with intergated graphics cores, graphics cards will probably be obsolete or at least a harder sell. Just my thoughts.
 
Nvidia and AMD for me. Never had much luck with any ATI or Intel products - don't know why. They always seemed to die or malfunction in my presence. xD:

...CPUs with integrated graphics cards? :blink: Does...what?...holy crap! Since when are they gonna do that? :shock
 
I have been reading in a number of computer magazines that Intel and AMD are working on a line of CPU's with integrated graphic cores. Apparently the chips have enough graphics power to capture all of the mid-range PC systems as well as some of the low-end GPU market. I think the code name for Intel is "Larrabee," but I might be wrong on that point. Have not read what the code name is for AMD. This articles have only just now been appearing in the magazines.
 
So that's what Intel's been up to with Project Offset - I heard they were making sure it worked with their Larrabee processors. I have the sneaking suspicion that if that game ever gets released, it'll be Intel-only. :modding

 
It does look good. But time will tell if these cores are good enough to replace all graphic cards. I have seen the ATI Radeon HD 5970 High-end video card in action, and all I can say is WOW!!!!!!!
