What happened and is there any update with larrabee

Any new updates on the larrabee gpu?

Larrabee was canned as a discrete GPU but evolved into the Xeon Phi seris of HPC products (The Knights series such as Knights Ferry).

There is rumors and talk of Intel planing a new discrete GPU however but we shall see if it ever comes to fruition or gets killed/reassigned to another purpose.

Larrabee, as a stand-alone GPU, was cancelled.

As for their "new" venture into a discreet GPU since hiring Raja Koduri at the end of 2017.... I think the timeline is a card available sometime in 2020, but we'll see how that plays out.

Okay.. if you install the xeon phi drivers on the larrabee (by modifying the drivers to add that it "supports" it) would it display something or would it even work?

Good to kno

I have no idea. I know Linus tried to get one running but it was a prototype. The problem is it wouldn't be worth it. At best it would perform close to a 7900 series GPU. Problem is no Windows drivers were developed for it outside of the dev team and getting it to even load is something that would take a team of engineers to do.

Its just sad they canned something that was so ahead of its time, like making your gpu support directx 12 just with a driver update is <ModEdit> insane. Like having a gpu that supports directx12 when it wasn't even out yet in linus's words.
