Intel’s Vice President has said that the Larrabee should sample in Q4 2008 and that the actual products should follow soon. This confirms the current schedule that we’ve reported before where our sources have said that they expect to see Larrabee in Q4 and that the real parts are due in Q1 or later in 2009.
Intel also said that Larrabee is a platform that can do all sorts of calculations very well. Intel sees a Larrabee as graphics, visualization products but at the same time it sees it as a highly computational platform that will help the massive calculation tasks.
This also includes the computational modeling market where oil companies compile data and render terrain to make the drilling simulations possible.
