Intel: "CUDA Is Dead, Larrabee Rules"
Source : DailytechWhile Intel and NVidia have a common opponent, AMD/ATI, they are also 2 competing chipset and processor manufacturing company. If NVidia is mostly doing the design and outsourcing production, Intel does both. They recently entered into a open fight regarding the future of CPU and GPU. In both case, the predicted increase of core numbers in processors opens the door to huge performance gain. As NVidia is backing the potential of GPU to perform other task than 2D/3D rendering, Intel is predicting that in a near future one would not need GPU anymore, as some cores of a CPU could be dedicated to such function.
NVidia is promoting its CUDA programming language, attacking directly Intel on its data processing arena. CUDA makes it possible to perform intensive and complex physics calculations on the GPU, enabling physics engine like PhysX on the GPU.
the last comment from Intel about CUDA: "NVIDIAs CUDA
