Intel kills Larrabee... again! :p

Might do some good in the HPC market though. From a design point of view, for all graphics applications, it was a failure to boot from.

Lesson of the day: It's hard to enter a new market when you start from scratch.

Cheers! :)

Is a really good read. Developer analysis PoV.

I guess this woke Intel up to the fact that GPU's really aren't that easy to make.
