Intel wants to join the battle for the most powerful graphic card, and via its project Larrabee, the founder is expecting to benefit from its leadership in parallelization and multicore technologies to deliver graphic components with amazing groundbreaking capabilities. Indeed, processing power required by 3D engines and video displays have a lot of common requirements, and could indeed be perform in parallel by the same unit. To complete this project, Intel might need the help of NVidia expertise when it
