As the CPU giant Intel has always been proud warlords, what trouble could have happened? If the trend of development of the semiconductor industry there is an in-depth understanding of Intel’s troubles can be clearly located. From the Department, the first CPU, are two GPU.
It has been reported that Intel’s profits for 22 years the myth was broken, 90 percent profit decline. For any one enterprise, the management are unable to sit still afraid. Intel, the ten thousand thousand mistake mistake, the market can not be wrong. Profit at the end of the myth has been the case, Intel will be how to adjust market strategy?
According to press reports, Intel and TSMC hands, begin to carry out the core business of outsourcing. In this extraordinary behind the act, can not the same as the Taste. On the one hand, to follow the trend seems to imply that rival Intel has been brilliant no? Since last year, AMD took the lead off the old rivals split the burden of traveling light manufacturing sector, will focus on all the benefits of chip design at the top since the forced Intel has to consider how to relieve the stress of capital and market. Outsourcing somewhat helpless. At this site on CPU, Intel is currently facing difficult times than any need to make more. Dragged down by the financial crisis, becoming the semiconductor industry downturn, and Intel’s old rival AMD has never stopped attacking. Intel’s market share is being eroded.
Core areas of attack by the opponent, this is only one aspect of Intel’s troubles; in the field of high-performance computing, Intel is facing a stronger opponent. This is the GPU from NVIDIA and pressure. NVIDIA and Intel are a same well-known companies, the company operating in the field of graphics computing for many years, with the game companies have maintained sound cooperation in regard to ability to innovate powerful GPU. Pipeline advantages, technological advantage and design advantages make NVIDIA into the GPU has sufficient confidence. NVIDIA Corporation great ambition, not satisfied with only the oldest areas of graphics processing, GPU’s bright prospects for NVIDIA to illuminate a New World. Of course, Intel is concerned, is not good news. After all, at the site on GPU, Intel has never been the king’s right to speak.
Although the CPU and the GPU has yet to differentiate between the final results, but the GPU is from a dream into reality quickly. NVIDIA recently dropped a weight to the market pound bomb is launched, called “Graphic Plus - graphics go beyond the traditional” marketing strategy, including video processing, image processing, physics, as well as accelerated 3D maya. Previously, the computer screen on the 3D images are up to some extent simulate the 2D effects of light and shade, and now, as long as the players put on 3D maya, you can immediately see the beautiful 3D images. During the Games time, as if in person on the battlefield into the Games, all the enemy seems to be standing in front of you - such as into the Mirage! The past is not realistic 3D rendering of the Product can shoulder. Are the most valuable, including video processing, image processing, physics and 3D maya accelerate the upgrading of these functions is to maintain its 3D performance of the basic free add-on, and these features will undoubtedly greatly increased the NVIDIA GeForce graphics cards and competitive value-added force.
On the market demand is concerned, at this stage and the future for a long time, ordinary Internet users watch video, 3D gaming applications will increase in large quantities, GPU applications Avenue is no masking! This trend, far exceeding the time of CPU upgrade heat.
Earlier, Intel GPU not serious and was later discovered GPU will become the core of the future when the PC industry, GPU areas are dominated by the NVIDIA. In contrast, aspects of parallel computing at Intel as, from the i740, G35 to 915, then still at the drawing board Larrabee, after many failures, has yet to see Intel come up with excellent products to prove their capabilities. How can we not bother?
AMD aggressive offensive CPU side; GPU connection NVIDIA anywhere the world, did not give Intel the opportunity to leave. Around the face of attack, Intel will finally how to deal with? May wish to observe.
