Intel's 72-Core Processor Jumps from Supercomputers to Workstations
Intel will ship a workstation with its 72-core Knights Landing supercomputing chip in the first half of next year

Intel wants to change the game in desktop computing with a workstation that packs its upcoming, 72-core supercomputing chip.
Intel's workstation will be based on an upcoming Xeon Phi chip code-named Knights Landing, which is being touted as the company's most powerful chip to date.
A limited number of workstations will ship in the first half of next year from Intel, which will also control initial distribution. As usage expands, hopefully PC makers and other partners will sign on to sell Xeon Phi desktops, said Charles Wuischpard, general manager of the HPC Platform Group at Intel.
