At the beginning he gives a bit about Intel&#8217;s view of Larrabee and the effect of &#8220;cancellation&#8221;, i.e., it&#8217;s not cancelled, just the first hardware release is off. He notes the day-to-day work of most Larrabee developers is unaffected. I appreciating him walking through the Intel position, as I haven&#8217;t been able to find any hard information (press releases, etc.) on their site. In retrospect, rumor-mill articles <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brightsideofnews.com\/news\/2009\/10\/12\/an-inconvenient-truth-intel-larrabee-story-revealed.aspx\">like this one<\/a> (which we <a href=\"http:\/\/www.realtimerendering.com\/blog\/7-things-for-december-24\/\">passed on earlier<\/a>, lacking any sound data)\u00a0appear to have extremely little resemblance to reality.<\/p>\n<p>The rest of his lecture is about Larrabee itself. Early on he talks about the new instructions in Larrabee, something like <a href=\"http:\/\/software.intel.com\/sites\/billboard\/archive\/larrabee-new-instructions.php\">Abrash&#8217;s article<\/a> but more entertaining. Around minute 37 he gets more into graphics rendering per se.
