Nvidia Responds to Intel Larrabee Comments Following our interview with Intel's James Reinders about the company's Larrabee chip, representatives from Nvidia informed me that they wanted to address some of the issues that were raised. Part of the company's response came when I interviewed Sumit Gupta, senior product manager for Nvidia's Tesla business division, for my article about RealityServer 3.0. The rest followed in my more recent interview with Andy Keane, general manager of Nvidia's Tesla group. Gupta and Keane wanted to discuss some common misconceptions about the capabilities of Nvidia GPUs they believe Nvidia's competitors are propagating, including GPUs' ray tracing capabilities, just how "general purpose" they really are, and some important architectural issues. |
