History of Intel graphics card

  4.4 Unknown
   At the beginning of 2018, Intel first revealed the prototype of the fourth-generation discrete graphics card at the ISSCC 2018 International Solid-State Circuits Conference. The prototype graphics card was manufactured using the Intel 14nm process and integrated 1.524 billion transistors.
  Where is Intel going, will it open a new era? Wait and see!
 
4.3 Larrabee
 Intel's third-generation discrete graphics Larrabee was first announced at SIGGRAPH in 2008. Larrabee intends to build a stand-alone GPU and GPGPU using the x86 instruction set. It was originally expected that “Larrabee” will be launched in the third quarter of 2008 and officially released in 2009, but in fact there were engineering samples in 2009.

 In June 2009, Intel claimed that the prototype of Larrabee was comparable to the NVIDIA Geforce GTX 285. On November 4, 2009, Intel officially announced that Larrabee will not be released as a consumer GPU product. Instead, it will compete with Nvidia Tesla as a development platform for graphics and high-performance computing.On May 31, 2010, Intel completely canceled the Larrabee graphics card project.

4.3.3 Knights Ferry

The version is neither marked with "Rev 3" nor "LARRABEE GPU" on the PCB. It is already Knights Ferry. It can still be called a Larrabee graphics card because it has a video signal output interface.

Knights Ferry, which has no video signal output interface, has transformed from a LARRABEE GPU to a Xeon Phi Coprocessor.

4.3.4 Larrabee2
Knights Corner is an optimization and upgrade of Knights Ferry. It is only natural that the Larrabee2 graphics card appears, but Intel did not announce it to the public, and Intel has done such things.
The PCB date is 3611 weeks and the GPU date is 1147 weeks.
