A special
graphics processor handles much of the work needed to get the picture to the monitor and the information which makes up the display is stored in graphics memory separate from the PC's RAM.
Larrabee will be Intel's first discrete
graphics processor. It has characterised it as a many-core processor that will be able to perform the same type of tasks as a multicore CPU, but deliver more parallelism by offering more pipelines to process data.
According to the company, Lenovo used NVIDIA ION
graphics processor to create a thin, lightweight, low-power laptop with a 12" screen and improved application compatibility.
CUDAao technology enables the ZOTAC GeForceA 9600GT LP to go beyond gaming graphics to enable everyday applications to harness the power of the
graphics processor. With CUDAao technology, image and video editing, distributed computing and video transcoding tasks can be accelerated using the
graphics processor for greater performance than quad-core processors.
Hitachi's proprietary ALiS (Alternate Lighting of Surfaces) technology enables a high display resolution of 1024 x 1024 to create stunning images and combines with Hitachi's industry-leading PC
graphics processor to provide significantly smoother, sharper images than conventional plasma technologies.
While Intel nurses a self-inflicted wound after pulling the plug on its long-anticipated Larrabee graphics chip, analysts said rivals AMD and Nvidia need to make hay with the extra time they've been given.<p>Last week, Intel announced that it was nixing the release of its Larrabee
graphics processor. Larrabee, which had been loosely defined as a graphics chip with between 10 and 100 cores, initially was slated for release in 2009.
Initial chips will integrate a CPU and
graphics processor in a single package, which could improve graphics performance while drawing less power.
The integrated GeForce 9300
graphics processor features 16 screaming-fast stream processors for high-performance in the latest DirectX 10, OpenGL 2.1 and NVIDIA CUDA based 3D games and applications.
