Intel’s forthcoming “Knights Landing” Xeon Phi processor is certainly an impressive beast, as The Next Platform revealed earlier this week. It has many more cores and vector units, and much more memory bandwidth, than a standard Xeon processor, and it should provide a significant performance density advantage compared to even Xeon processors in the future “Broadwell” and “Skylake” generations. But who, outside of the major national supercomputing labs and hyperscale giants that have thus far done most of the accelerated computing in the world, is going to use Knights Landing for production work?
The honest answer is that no …
