so it really is Larrabee take 2. I told you! I'll wait for this one to never be released either.

which ever way you look at it... Intel are vacuming up the brains and making what they think will be the talent pot of the decade.
OR.. they're worried that AMD we looking at these guys... and thought "we'll take them out of the market"
and I believe they would do that

I suspect that Intel are going to follow the grain and make conventional GPUs and Logic Boards similar in design to the competition but exercise their expertise in making high performance silicon...and that's about it. They got burnt by Larrabee 1 so I doubt they want to do that again.
The salvage job they did - turning it into compute boards leveraged with heavily optimised compilers (and AVX512, of course) - wasn't half bad though, afaict.
Given the technical group is "Core and Visual Computing" and he's not exactly a big name in successful GPU design, I wonder if he's being brought in to work on something else - an Atom successor maybe? Something embedded and massively parallel?
Musical chairs in LaLa land.

Hmm, probably. I strongly suspect they also cut some pretty good deals for educational use - I know there's a few Knight's Landing based nodes available for uni research projects. That said there's also a lot of traction for CUDA in that market, so I wouldn't call KNL a runaway success. AMD cards - after a brief spike in popularity when the 7000-series were launched - seem to have sunk again in that market...
First they have to change that awful name; Larrabee has nothing on GeForce.
mind you it could all go wrong (just like we expect Larrabee to)
