Story about Larrabee from Bright Side of the News doesn't paint a good picture about Larrabee or seeing it as a real product until 2011.

This article shows Larrabee in a different light than what others posters here have stated.

Intel has supposedly already demoed it at IDF and they have working hardware. More than one can say for NVIDIA's Fermi. If Intel wants to compete with the graphics chip vendors they need to match their one year R&D cycles... So I certainly expect them to release something in 2010, even if it is Xmas 2010.

you can t create something that can compete with a company with 15 years of experience in few months, I hope you guys understand this by now. It is taking time, and it is ok to take time, we know how moore's law works, and we have the best fabs in the world, give us time, and R&D time, Paris and Rome were not builded the same day.

We are doing what has to be done, so many people were saying that we were doomed, while I had conroe/Merom in my hands and Prescott in the stores ... Be patient.
Nobody had a clue that Conroe was coming ... and I was called lier many many times the day we started showing it ... we all know the end of the story :)

In French, we say "patience est mere de toutes les vertus" ==> "Patience is the mother of all virtues".

"Au royaume des aveugles, les borgnes sont rois." ==> "In the land of the blind the one eyed man is king"

(my definition of fanboyism and benchmarketing....)

time will tell! :)

You keep saying 'we'. But do you actually work for Intel? I have a feeling you do not.

He does. He's the head of the j/k department there I think ;)

for the new guys, I am Francois Piednoel, from Intel Corp. Google ... and I like humour :) and acid jokes ...

Intel condemns tardy Larrabee to dev purgatory

Now what was that about a blind man and an elephant again

A shame really. My guess is the performance for legacy applications (i.e. DirectX and OpenGL) is pretty bad for some reason. Notice they showed a raytracing demo, but no demo running existing unmodified applications was done. HPC customers often have access to the source code and can optimize it to run on the target hardware.

Blind men, not blind man. Why are you commenting about an expression you obviously
don't even understand?

By all reports, the hardware for Larrabee 1 is in relatively good shape – especially for the first generation of a new architecture. The graphics drivers and software stack is likely to be the limiting factor that lead to the cancellation of Larrabee 1 graphics products.

The main issue behind the delay, it appears, was the hardware.

LOL.

I just don't get Paul's need for tactless commentary sometimes. He's just as blind as anyone else on the realities of Larrabee.

Paul really is a knowledgeable guy,but he fails to acknowledge the fact that intel as a company made some mistakes,is making them and will be making them. They are not immune to this process.
