I sat through a Xeon Phi presentation at university, about how it would revolutionize the university's "supercomputer". I left shortly after; did Phi come to nothing?

It was too difficult to get decent performance from Xeon Phi for general use cases. A few apps could make it work e.g. PGS bought up all the old stock for a big geophysics system.
