Intel this week launched its plan to discontinue the remaining Xeon Phi 7200 series processors with the code name Knights Mill (KML), ending the processor family that has now been replaced by the 56-core Xeon Platinum 9200.
Intel to discontinue Xeon Phi 7200 series processors
Xeon Phi parts have been used primarily by supercomputers during their lifetime.
Customers interested in the final Intel Xeon Phi 7295, 7285 and 7235 processors will have to place their final orders before August 9, 2019. Intel will ship the final Xeon Phi CPUs before July 31, 2020. Intel's Knights Mill processors they have upgraded 64, 68 and 72 x86 Silvermont cores in combination with AVX-512 and MCDRAM drives. The pieces were essentially Knights Landing pieces optimized for deep learning applications.
Intel released several generations of Xeon Phi over the years, including Knights Ferry, Knights Corner, Knights Landing, Knights Hill (never released), and Knights Mill. The product started as the Larrabee project, which aimed to design an x86 graphics solution general-purpose for Intel. We had a first glimpse of the initial architecture in 2008, however the graphics part of the project was phased out in mid-2010, and the product lived on a multi-core processor with large vector computing units.
