Quake Wars used to demo upcoming Intel graphics chip
While AMD is launching their DirectX11 graphics chip today (and we presume Nvidia has plans of their own for new products) Intel has been working on their own dedicated PC graphics chip which has gone under the code name or Larrabee. This week the company showed off the first public demo of their technology at their Intel Developer Forum.
As you can see from the brief video above, Intel choose to use a modified version of a PC game to demonstrate their chip's support for ray tracing. The game is Enemy Territory: Quake Wars and Intel actually took all of the content in the game and put it into its ray tracing tech to run on Larrabee. The result shows a more realistic looking level landscape along with some spectacular water textures. Larrabee is not expected to be released by Intel until sometime in 2010.
