IIRC, Larrabee eventually morphed into the Phi accelerators (knights mill, bridge, etc.). They hung out in the market for a while, and I think the last iteration was shifted to be more deep learning focused, but I don't think they ever got much traction.
I agree, it's unfortunate - I'd love it if someone could challenge NVidia's dominance of ML at least a bit.
- pclmulqdq 4y agoHonestly, the Xeon Phi wasn't a bad decision if you wanted to challenge NVidia/CUDA. Giving people a "normal" platform like that could have worked if they had pushed the software ecosystem around it and kept up on performance.
- meepmorp 4y agoA late reply, but I totally agree. Phi was a super interesting platform, and they probably could've done more with it if they'd invested in the software (and hardware).
