Intel confirms: no discrete graphics plans - Bit-Tech.net, Fudzilla.com

In a blog post - via The Wall Street Journal - Intel's Bill Kircos states categorically that "[Intel] will not bring a discrete graphics product to market, at least in the short-term" - meaning that there will be no Larrabee-powered dedicated graphics cards to offer consumers a third choice, away from the AMD and Nvidia duopoly.

Blaming the fact that the company "missed some key product milestones" in the run-up to a Larrabee consumer product, Kircos states that Intel is looking to concentrate on integrated graphics for the foreseeable future - in particular "media/HD video and mobile computing[, which] are the most important areas to focus on."
