CE-Oh no he didn’t! Part LVIII: NVIDIA CEO doesn’t know what Larrabee is, doesn’t care

by Richard Lawler, posted Aug 27th 2008 at 3:22PMNVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang just can’t resist throwing more jabs at Intel, distracting the inaugural NVISION crowd from Battlestar Galactica star Tricia Helfer with the claim that “Larrabee hasn’t shipped so you don’t know what it is and I don’t know what it is.” The fact that we do know what it is — a next-gen hybrid CPU / GPU — shouldn’t be a concern according to Huang, because “By the time it does ship, Nvidia’s technology will be so far advanced it won’t matter.” Besides stuffing Usain Bolt-type speed into a GPU the company will keep busy working on its WinMo smartphone hardware, and software for the not-exactly-Atom-killing VIA Nano, but forget about that rumored x86-compatible hardware ‘cuz, as Jen-Hsun reminds us, “the Internet doesn’t run on x86.” For a company that lacks innovation, is “a joke,” and at least four years behind, Intel must be doing something right, because the competition can’t keep its name out of their mouths.
