Intel says Larrabee is dead as a consumer product, officially on the record.
For the love of god did you click the links I pasted?
Particularly the one from the engineer working on the project? He spells out in no uncertain terms that Larrabee is NOT dead as a consumer project, only the first generation was.
Furthermore, find me one quote from Intel that says it's fully cancelled. Everything came from a phone conversation. Here's a follow-up quote:
"Larrabee silicon and software development are behind where we hoped to be at this point in the project. As a result, our first Larrabee product will not be launched as a standalone discrete graphics product.Note that he says "Our first Larrabee project will not be launched as a standalone discrete graphics product." He does not say the Larrabee consumer project is dead.

who said i hate nvidia? nice strawman there. maybe i like nvidia actually producing worthwhile consumer products instead of pushing useless, proprietary standards and buying off developers.
See, there's the hate. All your posts about Nvidia have been angry. "Buying off developers." Again, you're a fool if you don't think ATI/AMD is paying developers to optomize to their hardware. You're a fool if you don't think Intel does it. You're a fool if you don't think this kind of thing happens in every industry.
I have no real love for Nvidia, but I don't hate them for not being competitive this generation and really hope they bounce back and keep the game between them and ATI competitive.
It's no strawman - you're spewing tons of hate here.
Actually, hate and FUD. I'd hate for someone to read your posts and think Nvidia is doing something unethical and uncommon, or think that Intel's Larrabee is dead.
