Intel Suggests Larrabee 2 is Still Possible

The Larrabee delay might have made many of you down in the dumps, but according to an Intel representative the project is still alive.
When the fellow site PCGH asked about the company’s plans for the future, Intel revealed that they still want to provide many-core graphics cards in the future, which means we’ll probably see Larrabee 2 someday.
“Larrabee is a large complex, multi year project that is aimed at creating a new architectural approach to graphics and to high performance computing. The performance of the initial Larrabee product for throughput computing applications – as demonstrated at SC09 – is extremely promising and we will be adding an HPC development platform based on Larrabee, too. While we are disappointed that the product is not yet where we expected, we remain committed to delivering world-class many-core graphics products to our customers. Additional plans for discrete graphics products will be discussed some time in 2010. Our plans to deliver the world’s first CPU’s with integrated graphics this month are unchanged.”
