Graphic computing without a GPU? Seems an absurd point. But this what Intel have in their agenda. Intel is planning to go for graphic processing without a GPU. Nvidia and ATI now are in a great trouble since they are leading graphics card makers. Intel will now design a CPU, which do all the graphics controlling. Named as’ RAY Tracing’, this new technique will replace the rectangular grid of raster graphics.

Graphic Processing unit or GPU is a card, which enables advanced PC gaming techniques and other creative applications. Intel doesn’t have its own GPU but it heavily relies on the GPUs produced by Nvidia or ATI produced by Micro Devices, archrival of Intel. However analysts feel that this will degrade the other tasks rendered by a normal CPU since a separate graphic card works well with ray tracing techniques without affecting PC utilities.

The aim here is of high quality visualization, which seems unachievable by CPU makers in the current period. Although it can improve the visual interface, it can harm other functionalities of CPUs drastically. But Intel is all tension free. They have full confidence that these flaws would soon be sorted out and they would be able to produce a high quality CPU without graphic computing.
