Intel’s Larrabee has two HD decoders…hrmmm….

This is a lot of interpretationg, but talking about HD decoders on the chip gets me pretty excited, especially if they come through with it being low power draw…sounds like a compelling choice for the HTPC world, but let’s wait and see.

SemiAccurate

Why anyone would want the first generation Larrabee for an HTPC rig is an open question, one that brings us to how Larrabee will evolve. The first one can be considered a hybrid between a software development platform and a science experiment. Intel aims to do nothing less than change how graphics are done, a laudable goal that will take years. During that time, avenues will be explored, concepts implemented, and others shelved.
