Intel Larrabee GPU designer rejoins Intel GPU Team

Intel Larrabee GPU designer rejoins Intel GPU Team

It's been roughly a decade, but Tom Forsyth was the man behind Larrabee if you can remember it, you need to go back to the year 2007 for the first Larrabee rumors. Forsyth will be teaming up with Intel's GPU team, under the leadership of Raja Koduri. Intel aims to release a dedicated GPU by 2020. 

Forsyth mentioned it on Twitter, he will be joining Intel as chip architect in Koduri's team. It's clear that Koduri is looking for talented specialists to help him build a GPU. Forsyth in the recent years has been working for Oculus, Valve, and even 3Dlabs. He was one of the primary architects of the Larrabee project that launched back in 2007 and got released I think it was in 2009? Larrabee was intended as general purpose graphic processor for demanding workloads. When released it pretty much failed as the competition was lightyears ahead in performance, technology, and software. In Tom Forsyth's own words, it was actually a "pretty huge success."  

In 2011 Larrabee got a bit of a refresh as a coprocessor for supercomputers ending up in Xeon Phi accelerators. It did not take long before the project was terminated.

Intel is gearing up for the first damn time to get serious on the GPU market. I don't know why it took this long but I couldn't be more thrilled to have a third competitor.

I read Tom's blog he only called Larrabee a success in relation to what Intel asked his team to build. They built it and it nailed what Intel wanted. With that said what Intel wanted was way off point on what the market wanted which has been the story of Intel GPU's.

I'm actually looking forward to this, since they seem to be serious about it. The GPU market sure needs the competition.
