Intel Larrabee delayed to 2010

FUD Zilla claims Intel is having software and driver issues with its upcoming Larrabee GPU, these problems have reportedly forced the chip giant to delay the product from late 2009 to 2010.

Our well informed sources have confirmed that Intel's highly anticipated graphics project codenamed Larrabee will be delayed to 2010. The original timeframe was late 2009, but we are very certain that it won’t find its way to retail shelves or OEM systems in this year.

It all indicates that the project will launch in 2010, most likely in 1H of 2010 if we don't see any further delays and we've heard that software support and drivers are the number one reason of this delay.

Better to get it "right" than to rush it out the door. Drivers are key, as well as a bug free experience.
