Plis let me just run Cinebench one time

Shame they cost so much

Can you imagine if they had hyperthreading? 144 threads... The Cinebench would look beautiful...

You can't run cinebench as its linux only. These are for certian compute workloads, not general use. 

 

Also if you want the highest cinebench you want 8x xeon e7 8890 v4.

Actually the new knight's landing xeon phi can be used as a host processor.  Not sure if i would want to though.  Its basically a 72 core atom with lots of cache.

It supports hyperthreading, it has 288 threads, 4 per core. The 72 C model that is.

The Phi are not standard CPUs and need to have very special programs written just for them. 

 

It's for distributed computing not desktop.

According to intel's official  launch details for the KGL xeon phi processors,  they actually use "quadthreading"  : 4 threads per core,  i.e. 288 threads.   Don't know why they say 72 threads on their website  though

At ISC 2016, Intel has announced their newest KNL (Knight's Landing) Xeon Phi processors has started to ship. KNL Xeon Phi, will actually be a host processor (socket) or co-processor (PCIe), not like their older Xeon Phi products where it's only a co-processor. What that means is, the host based version, can actually be used as a stand alone CPU.
