So in practice what is Knights Corner? At a high level it’s a coprocessor, and at a low level it’s a lot of little x86 cores run at a GHz that are connected through a ring bus. Intel isn’t giving out too many specifics at the moment but based on what they are telling us it’s not that hard to fill in some of the gaps. The thing that makes these little cores different from Intel’s Atom or Xeon architecture is that each of these cores has a very large 512 bit vector floating point unit. Additionally Intel is leveraging its silicon interposer technology to embed GDDR on the package of the chip with full ECC memory support.

Hm, pade mi na pamet jedna ideja, AMD bi intelu mogao da konkurise i sa x86 instrukcijama... nVidia ne, ali AMD nema pravnih prepreka. Samo je pitanje koliko imaju sredstava da razvijaju tako nesto
Bice zanimljivo videti sta ce doneti GCN, za nevidiju se otprilike zna sta donosi Kepler.
