Peddie: Intel will "never" buy Nvidia
Industry analyst John Peddie has dismissed reports of Intel buying Nvidia as "naïve speculation." According to Peddie, Intel plans to design a "whole family" of Larrabee chips based on X86 architecture.
"Larrabee isn't dead. Wishful thinking won't make Intel or its ambitions go away. The company has, and continues to make, huge investments in the graphics technology and space," explained Peddie.
"Intel believes all esoteric architectures, of which they include the GPU ASIC, will fade away and only the X86 architecture will prove to be universal. It has endured for the past 40 years."
行业分析师John Peddie称关于Intel正在收购NVidia的报道是“幼稚的猜测”。Peddie说,Intel计划基于x86体系架构设计整个Larrabee芯片家族。
“Larrabee并没有死亡, 一厢情愿的想法并不会让Intel和它的雄心退出,Intel已经并且会继续在图形技术领域投入大量资源”,Peddie解释道。
“Intel相信,所有的神秘的专用大规模集成电路,包括GPU,都会退出历史舞台,x86将会被证明是最终的通用解决方案。这种信念在过去40年中都经受了住考验”。 |
