While the idea of larrabee excites me as does cuda and gpgpu I then come back down to earth and think....how many applications actually make use of the 4 cores of my quad core cpu....not many.....programmers seem to have difficulty it doing this....perhaps many applications only can be single threaded and as such will not benefit from the multi core parallel hardware explosion so whether its cuda or x86 larrabee using god knows how many cores many many and perhaps the majority of applications and tasks simply cannot be executed using a parallel approach.
While a certain amount of parallelism is necessary and of use in reality the focus needs to return to more efficient architecture and higher clock speeds.

Huang's opinion on the technical stuff are actually quite insightful. Cut the guy some slack!

There're some dark clouds gathering on his visual computing *ecosystem* though. It ain't what the inquirer reporters think it is...


More Inq hate-on of Nvidia... You know it is possible to just give us the facts of the article without all the spin like, "he puffed on his chest." Seriously guys. Weak, weak, weak.

"We believe in heterogeneous computing. The CPU and GPU should work together and the CPU is x86, so I’m x86 as well ..."

This seems to be change in tone from few months ago when NV's PR used to talk about CPU is dead and [GP]GPU would rule computing world. Looks like, NV is working on x86 CPU ( which they should have done years ago).

"Every important industry needs to have a conference and our industry doesn't have one."

Ummm.... SIGGRAPH?

He defends his company against storms and falling meteors.

Kind of reminds me of that guy in iraq during the first part of the war. He'd wave both arms open and say "We're deterring the invasor" now that's the spirit!

Jen Hsun Huang is such a bloviating phoney! He should stop with his drooling utterances and learn how to start manufacturing decent, i.e., non-defective, parts.
