NVIDIA responds to Intel's Larrabee GPU

NVIDIA responds to Intel's Larrabee GPUCISC and RISC.I have wondered how Intel proposed to scale their CISC x86 instruction set up to more than a few cores. They can only do this by reducing the complexity of each core, and use less transistors. That means dropping all the clever stuff...
