Intel Halts Xeon Phi accelerator Knights Hill Development
Intel adjusted its roadmap to focus on high-performance exascale computing. Part of this .plan is scrapping the previously announced Knights Hill based Xeon Phi accelerators. The product line has been removed from the latest roadmap.
Intel will replace Xeon Phi with a new platform and architecture reports tweakers.net today, Intel makes note of this fact (albeit a little hidden) in this article. The exact reasoning behind the cancellation of Xeon Phi is vague, as well as specs on the new architecture.
Intel first announced Knights Hill back in 2014, it would be based on 10nm and would support the new generation Omni-Path-interconnects. Xeon Phi, if you can remember it, was a relative if the Larrabee GPU project and thus effectively, this would be the end of Intel's Larrabee GPU project.

That's pretty interesting. it was a pretty big project for a good while. i have always wondered why intel has never gotten serious about graphics.

Maybe because the XEON Phi is even more "niche" product than NVidia (1st place) and AMD (2nd place)... it is very good for computation but product from green and red are realy much more easy, much more versatile... arm/x86/x64/custom config... the experience they have is a real advange over intel wich is pretty young in this exercice.
About Intel in graphic... at each release of their IGP it is better, now you can no more say "their IGP are so weak that you can do nothing with them"... at one point i guess they will do some great stuff.

Oh they were serious all right nearly a decade ago...what did they spend on LRB? $5 Billion? Apparently hooking up a bunch of Pentiums on a single die wasn't competitive enough for graphics, even though they were so boastful of their accomplishments at first...Xeon Phi was the Larrabee salvage job.
