That's where we have to agree to (potentially) disagree. I lament that these or similar designs didn't last longer in the market, so people could learn how to harness them.

Imagine for instance hard real time tasks, each one task running on its own separate core.

I think Intel should have made more effort to get cheap Larabee dev boards onto the market, they could have been using chips that didn't run at full speed or with too many broken cores to sell at full price.

I think Intel have similar designs? The Xeon Phi had 60 cores, and their high core count CPUs have 56. The GPU max 1550 has 128 low power xe cores.
