How to Battle Intel? Merge AMD and NVIDIA

Arguably, Intel has all the aces right now. It's going to be a blue future for the IT world, but also a blue mood for Envydia and Daamit if Intel can make things work in reality the way they currently work on paper. And, unfortunately for the greenies, in the past few years Intel has actually made things work even better in reality than what they promised in slide shows. The upcoming discrete GPU from Intel, Larrabee as well as the upcoming Nehalem assault should give Damvidia a lot to think about.

For now, there is no reason to think that Intel's new aspirations in the GPU market will be a fluke. Of course, there is no reason to think otherwise either. Larrabee is an unknown factor right now. But Intel has proven many a times that even though it might be a fresh entrant into a given arena, it can make up for the lost experience extremely fast. This is a very agile and versatile competitor, definitely not to be underestimated. Huang knows that and that's the reason he's so passionate about Intel lately.
