Did I really read P54c as last iteration? I had that so many years ago. So, project was canned for pretty long time.
72Cores (Or maybe threads) is not that impressive in 2016. And in 2017 it will not be impressive at all.
And those slides showing actual workloads... Compared to what exactly?
AMD is pretty bad in their presentations, and approximating real world performance from that can end up anywhere within 30% above or below.
But this presentation. It tops that since it is compared to unspecified product.

I guess it is going to be 20% faster than grandma's wheelchair.

The main issue with Xeon Phi is that it is still a Xeon...
On other hand it's a good argument to sold it too.
