Intel Puts Larrabee Chip on Ice

Just one month after setting a new processing speed record with its Larrabee project, Intel (Nasdaq: INTC) has shelved plans to put out a new graphics chip based on that technology.

Instead, it will use the technology as a software development platform for internal and external use in high-performance computing.

However, Intel has not killed plans for Larrabee-based graphics chips entirely. "Additional plans for discrete graphics products will be discussed sometime in 2010," Intel spokesperson Nick Knupffer told TechNewsWorld.
