Simple question.
Caches meaning like L1 and L2 on a CPU and instruction sets like SSE2.
I know Larrabee will have the x86 architecture but I'm not sure exactly what that entails... will it just have the SIMD instructions onboard?
Also if a GPU has its own ISA will that mean there is no more communication between the CPU and GPU? I think the GPU will still have to store information in main memory.
