Oh I completely agree. But success and innovation are orthogonal, and the original question was about innovation.

- pinewurst 6y agoBut whatever real innovation underlay Xeon Phi/KNx was performed two decades ago. Current Intel is only capable of SKUsmanship - minutely partitioning function for projected max margins. Edit: Also too, remember that KNx was really an attempt to salvage Intel's failed Larrabee GPU effort.

I do, and I don't think you know that the first "Knights" project was simply a rename of Larrabee. Same exact product. It was called Knights ... Landing I think? Then it became Xeon Phi.
- pinewurst 6y agoKnights Ferry was the 1st. Unclear about the actual diffs between it and Larrabee silicon. I do know the 1st boards still had a video out port but it was disconnected.
