Intel: Larrabee to return in 2012 for HPC market

Posted on Tuesday, September 14 2010 @ 18:46 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck

FUD Zilla heard Intel plans to launch a Larrabee-based high performance computing (HPC) product in 2012:

Larrabee as a graphics product is dead for now, but in 2012 Intel plans to launch it as high performance computing part. This is something that covers the highly parallel computing market and goes against Nvidia’s Tesla, but there is definitely is nothing new to come in the form of a Larrabee for the graphics market.

With that in mind, Intel is already shipping software development vehicles for developers, and it hopes that more of them will get cozy with Larrabee than CUDA. We do believe that Intel will have a lot of catching up to do, but it also has plenty of resources to go after Nvidia in this market.
