Pretty recently we learned that one of the Intel’s first partners on the graphics card market could be the currently NVIDIA-exclusive EVGA. Rumors are going around that the next company for Intel to team up with is PC Partner, owner of both Sapphire and Zotac that makes AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards respectively. If this turns out to be true it is not certain which brand that will carry the new cards, but there is the possibility of either one.
At the same time most agree that Intel has a strong position on the PC market, which should make it quite easy to attract partners for its coming Larrabee graphics circuit.
Intel is as silent as it goes and so far most details on Larrabee have been pretty vague, but if Intel’s decides to make a great offensive on the retail market at the time of launch of Larrabee it seems there will be more than a few companies assisting them.
