Source: TGdaily At the beginning of computing, the display was managed by the central processor. Much later, we started to see accelerators targeted at professionals and the general public. They have evolved and have become the video cards that exist today. According to Ron Fosner a specialist in the field at Intel, the rapid increase in the number of processor cores and power output could encompass dedicated video cards in the future. That assertion was illustrated during the Intel developer forum -- a demonstration was given generating a scene rendering very complex graphics without any graphics card. Of course, this point of view is Intel'sand is certainly far removed from what Nvidia might think. It must be said that the manufacturer of processors is preparing its Larabee technology which will precisely use many cores to render high quality video performance. It can be presumed that in every core a specialised portion will be added aimed at rendering video. Thus, the more powerful and multi-cored a machine is, the more rapid 3D will be rendered. This would be a good way to boost high-end products and force them to a more rapid renewal of computers. The PC World will join that of Mac users who were forced to change machines to upgrade their video card ... [translation by jeremy]
