Intel's new graphics chip design is called Larrabee. The excellent Ars Technica site took a look and wrote this article:
Larrabee: Intel's biggest leap since the Pentium Pro
Prior to this, Intel has mainly done ho-hum graphics hardware for on-the-motherboard solutions. With Larrabbee, Intel is developing stand-alone high-performance graphics cards like the ones from nVidia and ATI (now owned by AMD).
