Intel Cancels Larrabee Retail Products


Sat 2009-12-05 - Posted by Patrick "MACMAC" MacMillan
Arguably the biggest tech news of 2009, Anandtech have just confirmed that Intel's highly publicized Larrabee consumer and HPC/GPGPU parts have now been cancelled.

Here's an excerpt:

"We just got off the phone with Nick Knupffer of Intel, who confirmed something that has long been speculated upon: the fate of Larrabee. As of today, the first Larrabee chip’s retail release has been canceled. This means that Intel will not be releasing a Larrabee video card or a Larrabee HPC/GPGPU compute part.

The Larrabee project itself has not been canceled however, and Intel is still hard at work developing their first entirely in-house discrete GPU. The first Larrabee chip (which for lack of an official name, we’re going to be calling Larrabee Prime) will be used for the R&D of future Larrabee chips in the form of development kits for internal and external use."
