I always suggested making software run well on a Phi would be valid research for making it run well on future Xeon Scalable and Core i9.

If you can make your code so parallelizable it runs well on a Phi, it'll run extremely well on future CPUs because clocks won't get much higher, but core counts will.

Good point, but from what I recall the phi had two different memory types, and you had to specify which you were targeting. This didn't necessarily translate to the server CPUs.
