The closest Intel got to this was Xeon Phi / Knights Landing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xeon_Phi with 60+ cores per chip, each able to run 4 threads simultaneously - each of which could run arbitrary x86 code. Discontinued due to low demand in 2020 though. In practice, people weren’t afraid to roll up their sleeves and write CUDA code. If you wanted good performance you had to think about data parallelism anyways, and at that point you’re not benefiting from x86 backwards compatibility. It was a fascinating dream while it lasted though. |
