Intel Launches 72-Core Knight's Landing Xeon Phi Supercomputer Chip (hothardware.com)
MojoKid writes: Intel announced a new version of their Xeon Phi line-up today, otherwise known as Knight's Landing. Whatever you want to call it, the pre-production chip is a 72-core coprocessor solution manufactured on a 14nm process with 3D Tri-Gate transistors. The family of coprocessors is built around Intel's MIC (Many Integrated Core) architecture which itself is part of a larger PCI-E add-in card solution for supercomputing applications. Knight's Landing succeeds the current version of Xeon Phi, codenamed Knight's Corner, which has up to 61 cores. The new Knight's Landing chip ups the ante with double-precision performance exceeding 3 teraflops and over 8 teraflops of single-precision performance. It also has 16GB of on-package MCDRAM memory, which Intel says is five times more power efficient as GDDR5 and three times as dense.
For those who don't recognize the meme.
Anybody who gave a SHIT looked it up, seeing how - get this - they're on the internet. I know, I know, it's hard to believe. You prefer to think we would all be lost without your priceless guidance. Well, why don't you eat a dick? You're the kind of douche-ass bitch who just can't understand why nobody wants your unsolicited advice. Ah yes, if only they appreciated your great wisdom! You're a Baby Boomer, aren't you? I recognize the smug self-satisfied self-importance. You're all a bunch of infected cunts oozing a nasty stinking yellowish discharge from a wide variety of STDs received by an amazing array of nigger cocks!
