Hot3D panel at HPG 2011

Interesting panel at the end of HPG 2011. David Luebke (nVidia), Mike Houston and Mike Mantor (AMD), and William Mark (Intel) talked about futures of graphics hardware. Interesting that all speakers talked about the impact of other forces that are driving GPU development (mobile computing/power/sales volumes, getting the GPU closer to the CPU). This, combined with other comments during the conference (did you know that the PS3 gpu is five years old and isn't going to be updated for another couple of years) and the influence of HPC on GPUs makes you wonder if high performance graphics will be the driver of GPU development in the future.
