Despite Larrabee having Intel's R&D muscle behind it, it still offered only a fraction of the game performance of a high end GPU from AMD/Nvidia. And such it was never used as a GPU outside of R&D labs..... |
I was really sad when that happened - I remember that Project Offset game they bought (along with its developer Offset Software) - not only it looked superb, but gameplay itself was looking really promising. The game was to show power of Larrabee, and when it got canceled, it was lost probably for all times in dark dungeons of Intel's empire.
