Yes, Larrabee is not entirely a GPU, but it's not a CPU, either. It is, however, discrete, geared towards graphics, and possesses an inherently multicore architecture that will allow it to potentially utilize hundreds of cores (they are starting out with a modest count of about a dozen or so, cough). The article didn't some of the more practical aspects of this type of architecture, however, like how such a hundred-headed beast would not crush a mobo (these are targetted toward consumer PCs) and/or not burn a hole through it.
