Larrabee?

Sounds like you'd need the rumoured Larrabee to do that ray-tracing, eh?

Perfect for Intel's Graphics Chip

If the rumours are true and Intel's graphics chips are based on x86 wouldn't the massive number of them (16+?) satisfy the requirements for realtime raytracing? Especially if it was disigned with this in mind. This was overlooked by Anandtech. You would not just use the CPU but you would use the GPU for most if not all the graphics processing.
