Read again, the claims were very specific in regards to a discrete GPU. Also, the author worked at Intel on Larrabee so unless you have proof otherwise I think it's best to give them the benefit of the doubt as to accuracy of the claim.

Did you not read the original post you responded to? They were ALL OVER this in the middle part of 2000 proclaiming larrabee was a discreet GPU. http://www.anandtech.com/show/2580 http://www.anandtech.com/show/2580 http://www.anandtech.com/show/3738/intel-kills-larrabee-gpu-will-not-bring-a-discrete-graphics-product-to-market http://www.anandtech.com/show/3738/intel-kills-larrabee-gpu-... http://www.cnet.com/news/intels-larrabee-more-and-less-than-meets-the-eye/ http://www.cnet.com/news/intels-larrabee-more-and-less-than-... http://www.pcper.com/reviews/Graphics-Cards/Larrabee-New-Instruction-set-gives-developers-first-glimpse-new-GPU http://www.pcper.com/reviews/Graphics-Cards/Larrabee-New-Ins...

  Read the original post again. I don't care what the news sites said at the time, the guy who wrote the post literally worked on it. Read the post carefully.

    Do you know who is Michael Abrash? GDCE 2009, "Rasterization on Larrabee: A First Look at the Larrabee New Instructions (LRBni) in Action" http://www.gdcvault.com/play/1402/Rasterization-on-Larrabee-A-First http://www.gdcvault.com/play/1402/Rasterization-on-Larrabee-... There were another Larrabee talks, but only this one is online. The marketing message was not only about graphics, but how the GPGPU features of Larrabee would revolutionize the way of writing games.

      Yes, I know who Abrash is -- I have one of his most famous books on my shelf. I'll say it again, the author's claims were very specific: in terms of engineering and focus, Larrabee was never primarily a graphics card Note the author says primarily and is specifically talking about it in terms of engineering and focus.
