Same for the Larabee / Knights architecture. Would sure be fun to play around with a 500 core Knights CPU with a couple TB of optane for LLM inference.

Intel's got an amazing record of axing projects as soon as they've done the hard work of building an ecosystem.

> 500 core

The newest fully E-core based Xeon CPUs have reached that figure by now, at least in dual-socket configs.

		Yup. And high end GPU compute now has on-package HBM like Knight's had a decade ago, and those new Intel CPUs are finally shipping with AVX reliably again. We lost a decade for workloads that would benefit from both.
