Larrabee screenshots (?)

Are these legit?

...or just artistic concept renderings? Supposedly the bottom one is on LRB, the top one is not.

Any URL please ???

Those are clearly concept art.

Probably from Project Offset.

I am guessing they are meant to be Project Offset, but I don't know if they are real or mockups.

I take it more as an example of scaling and parallelism in rendering, like the slide says.

 

[Davros]

I prefer the top one...

 

[RudeCurve]

I prefer the top one...

...because the gamma is different?

 

[Cypher]

The photoshopped effects I see are:
-Tons of particles, combined with good atmo scattering. Hello there, order-indie translucency! (Also, being able to process the updates for the particles in a wide and parallel manner)
-Crowds. Parallel processing of the individual entities, and also processing of more triangles/verts than a typical GPU is (probably) capable of.
-Good quality motion blur (has intel shown off anything with LRB being particularly adept at that? I guess, while processing a pixel, you can say "Write out to these locations defined by the velocity of this pixel"?)
-A second high-quality shadow (irregular shadow map show-off, or just generally more processing)

Lines up with what I was expecting, really, minus the third point. I'm really anxious to see if stuff like irregular shadow maps, order-indie translucency, high-quality dof blur and high-quality motion blur is not only within the realm of possibility but are practical from a performance POV. If the second shot is possible at >= 30Hz, I'll be ecstatic.

Clearly the first shot is Rasterisation & the second shows the Power ® of x86™ Ray Tracing©

Next shot will be a preview of FSX® Ray-Trace edition©

Oops, clearly they forgot to remove the motion blur from the sword in the lower right of the top image... so with LRB the dragon didn't have enough performance/power to kill all the humans in the arena, and the human's didn't have enough performance/power to put out the fires?

Very interesting, thanks for the link! I didn't know Intel's going to use the stuff from project offset as middleware.

Oh gawd the graphics requirement would be huge and it'd still have framerate issues 2 years after release.

So... just like Crysis in other words?

 

[ShaidarHaran]

FSX will have FPS issues until we move to quantum computing. Crysis will eventually be overcome by good old fashioned brute force GPU compute power. I see 20 FPS minimum in DX10 w/ very high settings and 4x AA @ 1080P on my 4GHz E8400 GTX 285 (702/1584/2646) system running through the benchmark and it's very playable at those settings.
