Programming Larrabee is a nightmare
Intel says programming Larrabee is writing nice C++ code. This is bulls**t. It is an in-order machine. If you want it to go fast you need to write code usuing machine-level 16 way instructions. Don't forget that you then need to do the threading and load balancing by hand (really easy yeah) and that you need make sure that things nicely fit into cache-lines etc. Intel says that their compiler will do all this in most cases - LOL. Intel assumes that polycounts of games are structured in a way that doesn't make the rasterizer the bottleneck - yeah right why would anybody want to tessellate stuff ?
