[Beowulf] Intel kills Knights Hill, Xeon Phi line "being revised"

[Christopher Samuel]

Interesting times (via a colleague on the Australian HPC Slack).

https://www.top500.org/news/intel-dumps-knights-hill-future-of-xeon-phi-product-line-uncertain/

Looks like fallout from the delayed Aurora system.

Rumours flying that the Xeon Phi family is in jeopardy, but the
article has an addendum to say:

# [Update: Intel denies they are dropping the Xeon Phi line,
# saying only that it has "been revised based on recent
# customer and overall market needs."]

cheers,
Chris
