Meanwhile, AMD is focused on the high-margin data center market
Intel's long-lost Larrabee GPU turns up in storage unit with working drivers, and yes, it can run Crysis
A rare dev kit gives collectors the missing piece of Intel's cancelled x86 graphics card
TL;DR: Larrabee prototypes have surfaced before, but almost always as barebones hardware with no drivers to make them work properly. This find includes Intel's own software stack, now preserved on the Internet Archive. For the first time, owners of surviving cards can test what Intel's ill-fated GPU could actually do.

Nvidia's $63 billion stock portfolio is a map of its own supply chain
The chipmaker's 13F filing shows it now owns big pieces of the companies it sells to, builds with, and depends on
The takeaway: Nvidia's latest 13F reveals a $63.4 billion portfolio of US stocks, and it is very lopsided. Intel and SpaceX account for roughly 80% of it. But the filing's most interesting detail is what didn't happen: seven of the eight positions were untouched last quarter, but the portfolio more than tripled in value anyway.
