Re: Analysis - Intel lifts wraps on next-gen Larrabee: should NVIDIA and ATI be worri
The scalability graph doesn't necessarily show linear performance increases - in fact it doesn't necessarily show anything at all. Given that the Y-axis is 'Scaled Performance' rather than just 'Performance', Intel could have calculated the performance index based on an assumption of diminishing returns-to-scale at any ratio they saw fit; without some real numbers or an explanation of how the index was calculated the graph is pretty much meaningless.
Or am I just being cynical?
