Intel CEO confirms first dGPUs in 2020

[SPBHM]

i740 might have failed, but it brought innovations forward (AGP) and was turned into the Intel 810/815 IGP which was pretty decent (could play lots of the D3D games ok at a time most PCs still ddn't have that capacity) and popular with OEMs


also it was a traditional video card, comparable to what NV/3DFX/S3 and so on were trying to make (performance was not near the high end, but it was OK enough for mid-low end at the time)

Larrabee was trying to re invent the wheel and failed to produce anything in terms of GPUs

Larrabee more or less made it to market as Xeon Phi. One of the engineers close to the project (Tom Forsyth, who just rejoined Intel) has a blog that goes into great detail about it, very interesting stuff. The first version of Phi had display blocks in it still. https://tomforsyth1000.github.io/blog.wiki.html
