News Intel Larrabee Cancelled

....

Their TOP TIER card is $600. Nvidia is the one who roams freely at $700+ GPU's. Like the GTX 295 which was $700. I'm sure the price is lowered now, but this is the first time ATI hit a price that high. And guess what, it's STILL lower than what nvidia charges for their top tier cards, and it's STILL faster.

 

PFFFT.

Are you kidding me? Were you around during the creation of the X1900XTX and the X1800XTX? Those things cost an arm and a leg, they did pretty much wreck the G70, although it was interesting to see the role of uber-chip maker reverse and be handed down to Nvidia after ATi's reign with the RV400 and the RV500.

At any rate, I don't find ATi pushing up the prices too distressing it's expected especially if the competition has no answer.
