Intel buys Neoptica
GPGPU here we come
INTEL IS BOOSTING its GPU business and not neglecting the GPGPU side either.
They recently bought Neoptica, a small GPGPU firm in San Francisco to bolster the business.
If it keeps this up, Intel and graphics may not bring flashbacks of the i740 every time it is mentioned. µ
Comments

OK...kinda neat that this happened, thnx for the info, but it happened a month ago and... can we get any more info with this tidbit?
Maybe tie it in it to your older GPGPU stories or something relevant, a holiday weekend though so good on you, I guess.

thomas von drashek
what ?
Hate to flame, but it's been a while reading the new INQ comment section, and I still haven't been able to fathom what "Von Drashek" is snorting. Is that a contest of the weirdest comment?Can the INQ obliterate stuff that makes no sense ?
At least he did stop abusing the caps lock (maybe he broke it).
My Von Drashek translation
"WTF" - my first reaction was the same as your's, i.e. WTF?!?! In scrutinizing it more closely, I think the gist of his statement is that (1) if you go to the company website and read their technical WP, you might find it difficult to absorb the info, (2) massive changes in computing are coming due to our move towards parallel computing (multi-core) and that the current systems have limited potential, and (3) that you can get up to a 50x performance increase with this new system. That's my rough translation :)
