Now I like Intel, but I hope this move forces more Ageia support.

I also hope Intel integrates a PPU into their future CPUs. I mean, integrating a GFX card into a CPU as in Fusion is nice, but a PPU would be more useful.

Also, why on Earth does Intel think it's integrated Pentium graphics processor is any good? Unless they make offboard gfx processors, or give Intelgrated graphics its own 512MB of GDDR3 RAM, I don't think it would make much of a difference.

Only one words comes to mind .. bizarre. Unless Intel in planning to cripple future versions on non-Intel hardware (which would be suicide, given that just as good alternatives exist), this just doesn't make sense. Neither side can offer the other side anything of value. Intel buying Ageia - that would make sense. But Havoc? Bizarre.

they must be planning to put in havoc's API into a hardware version and pop those cores into their 80 core tera project....
