Volume rendering CPU & GPU

[Voxilla]

Now possible to combine transparent polygons with voxel based objects:
Images rendered with either a GPU(DX11)/Windows or CPU(AVX2/AVX512/ARM)/Windows/Linux/Android/IOS

I wonder if the new Intel discrete GPU also would be usefull for volume rendering:

This could go into this thread. ;-)

Did you even watch the video?

Did you even watch the video?

Of course, why you ask?

Because it's not a new discrete GPU... That's one of the Larrabee prototypes. Close to 10 years old now.

There must be a reason there is an overlay '... prototype ...'

Clearly you watched it... the card he managed to buy is a prototype model. It doesn't mean it's a NEW prototype.

Indeed, you could call it a collector's item, there must be not many of them around.

"A June 2007 PC Watch article suggested that the first Larrabee chips would feature 32 x86 processor cores and come out in late 2009, fabricated on a 45 nanometer process."

Obviously if Intel would these days launch a new discrete GPU it would be on at least 14nm.
In theory a process shrinked original Larrabee could feature 9x32 CPU cores, each of them having AVX 512.
256 of these already would be decent. At 1 Ghz this would equate to 16 TFlop/s.
(alternatively 128 of them at 2 Ghz)

Anybody thinks we need to start an Intel discrete CPU/GPU speculation thread ?

First commercialized (and failed) discrete Intel GPU was the i740
