Almost bought a Xeon Phi

I'm not lazy, I thought you had more information than the approximations Intel made public, and tried to get that out of you. So imagine my disappointment when I get links that contain even less info than what I already provided :biggrin:

If you want a link it needs to be public published information by official sources.

What software do they even run?

What software do they even run?

There are a few modes of operation for the thing. The one I was most interested is how it can act as a separate computer running Linux inside the host machine. It can run x86_64/x87 code. For me, it'd just be a toy to play with.

If it would increase my PPD in BOINC / PrimeGrid (and others), and I could buy one for $200 or so new, I'd consider it. If only it worked on consumer motherboards.

Buy the $5000 system Intel just made public a few days ago: KNL with 6x16GB and a one year license of Intel Parallel Studio

KNL, 256 threads!!
