I was at one of the GDCE Intel sessions in 2009 when Larrabee was supposed to take over the world.

The problem in the GPU space is that so far Intel has always under delivered in tooling and performance.

I guess at least one can be happy that by being the underdog they play nice with FOSS community, as it tends to happen.

Man, Larrabee was really cool! I wish that something had become of the software-defined pipeline thingy that let them add support for new graphics API's- IIRC they added DX9 or Vulkan or some other pipeline support to the card after it was made.

Now I want to get one, or a Phi or something from that era.
