Many reasons:
* Intel vs nVidia legal battles have hurt Apple for sure.
* Delays in new mobile chips.
* Price
* Apple hoped Larrabee would be a hit and introduced Grand Central Dispatch etc. only to have Intel cancel it. Did Intel communicate early enough that Larrabee was not going to be feasible?
* nVidia is not doing very well in the graphics department with their new Fermi parts being power hungry and slow compared to AMD/ATI's chips.

- hga 17y agoHasn't Intel just delayed Larrabee as a graphics solution, not officially given up on it? I.e. the current parts missed their marketing window, so they're only useful in the HPC market, but they hope to do better with later ones.
