Larrabee as an architecture is not dead however. Intel made it very clear that a variant of the architecture designed for High Performance Computing (HPC) applications was still on track. It’s called the Intel Many Integrated Core (MIC) architecture and it claims to leverage both Larrabee and Intel’s many core research projects. The first Intel MIC product (codenamed Knights Corner) will be built on Intel’s 22nm process and feature more than 50 cores. I’m guessing it’s too early to tell how many cores will yield once the chip is done and Intel doesn’t want to miss any targets so we get a conservative estimate today.
