It's [Larrabee] supposed to be out by late 2009 or early 2010. Two years from today? Did the Itanic team "rescue" them?

No. The Larrabee stuff is made by a seperate group of folks from within Intel setup specificly
for working on this GPU stuff. 

They called it a 'internal venture company' or something like that.

Remember CPUs are not like software. Intel and AMD and friends are always working on tech 2-3
generations out. The latest and greatest cpus you can buy right now from Intel were probably
designed in 2003-2004 or so.
