Anandtech details news that Intel has canceled the retail release of their first Larrabee design. Larrabomb is apparently a more accurate name. Essentially AMD and Nvidia need not worry about an Intel GPU competitor until at least 2011.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.
