Or this guy was expecting this card to sell at $1000+ and he just cancelled on you. Time will tell if it shows back up.

Me too, but if another one pops up, you know I'll be trying to get a taste of that sweet Larrabee honey!Meh.. Was hoping to see it in action in that retro-thread
I honestly had no idea Larrabee made it that far to have a full GPU. I would have loved to see some more information on it.
And see here for the most in-depth discussion you will find about how functional the cards were, posted by one of the developers:

There were promotional PR releases as late as 2009:

And there were regular updates on the whole cluster-fuck from rags like The Register.

I have Larrabee prototype in my collection. Unfortunatelly without special software it is mostly useless - card is visible only as coprocessor, not VGA adapter. I have contacted Tom Forsyth, he said that card needs to be initialized with this software first. As for now I didn't find such software
How much to part with it? Does money talk? Everything has it's price?

I wouldn't doubt it if Intel employees visit the forums, and flagged the ebay listing. Another reason not to publicly post about listings you're bidding on.
Well that just makes you a big meany. We only want to have fun.Ding ding ding, we have a winner.
Although I didn't see this thread until just now and I didn't report the listing (obviously), that's a very true statement.
Without giving away too much info, I work at Intel. I was actually the guy at our site responsible for the destruction/disposition of all Intel assets, including engineering samples and Intel confidential materials (including prototypes).
It is absolutely not only against multiple company policies for this item to have left Intel, let alone be up for sale on eBay, it's also theft and thus illegal.
If Intel was to trace the item or seller back to an employee, that individual will not only be fired but also face criminal penalties.
It would be funny as hell if Kyle made his tittle"WARNING: SPY FROM INTEL"
Nah, Kyle has a twisted sense of humor. He'd probably change his title to "Spai from Cyrix"It would be funny as hell if Kyle made his tittle"WARNING: SPY FROM INTEL"

Careful, it might end up being AMD Fanboy lolHaha. I don't make the rules. I just happen to know what they are, my job depended on it.
I'm not a spy either, although that sounds fun. I've been around [H] for 12 years (more of a reader than a poster), long before I worked at Intel.
When I took over the role, it was painful to literally throw away pallets and 50 gallon barrels full of all manner of components and equipment, everything from Motherboards to CPU's to servers.
But after awhile, you get used to it. $1,000+ prototype i7 CPU's going into a barrel becomes normal. I got to handle some very cool things though, a good amount of it very few people ever see.
I would still be in that role, but I hurt my back a few years ago and could no longer do the job. I've moved onto other things since.
EDIT: *cough* I would love to have a custom title, Kyle *cough*
Careful, it might end up being AMD Fanboy lol
lol I'm ok with that. Other than an old MAC Book Pro, I don't think anything I own actually has an Intel chip inside.
It's just too damn expensive and I refuse to pay a premium.
Good man, m68k and PowerPC 'til the end!lol I'm ok with that. Other than an old MAC Book Pro, I don't think anything I own actually has an Intel chip inside.

So Intel lost track of a number of engineering samples? Now discovered they are available on Ebay?Ding ding ding, we have a winner.

Also since they were all suppose to be destroyed - means any left over are worth some very BIG BUCKS $. So I can see some scams going on with folks trying to obtain these.
Anyways as for theft and depending upon the state that if it can be proven or known, is 3-5 years for prosecutions. No federal law here. I am not a lawyer so just a little bit of research and could be wrong. This includes trade secrets as well. I am sorry, Intel would not have a leg to stand on if the card has been missing over that time. To prove it was stolen in court if it was not reported, serial # etc. GOOD LUCK.
Bumping this thread, Linus Tech Tips apparently got their hands on this thing. He didn't manage to get it working, but it's interesting to see nevertheless.
The answer to most of your questions is most likely "Yeah, I know, but this way we get to make two videos with it instead of one."holy shit someone competent please take that card from him.
1. i would have loved to see the actual pcb on that board to compare it to the phi cards and that would tell you exactly how much vram it had
2. the knights corner phis were VERY picky about what server they ran in if it is trully similar i would like to see that card tested on a supported system
3. why not use a difernt card for display and see if that thing is even detected.
4. pull the vbios off that card and compare it or flash it onto a knights corner chip
on another intresting note for the future of intel graphics intel also tryed to get somthing simular by throwing a software lare on a pcb with 3 e5 xeons on it (vca 2) it will be intresting to see if intel tryes to just throw software ontop of the new phis (whitch are redicuasly fast, i use them to mine ) a new frankenstein of scalable xeons or an actual custom graphics chip.
He seems like he's probably an OK guy to me, but I find his actual videos
