   @chjara@akko.wtf the first generation ones are a coprocessor, and are a weird distorted form of x86_64 that cannot be targeted by normal compilers
   
   the second generation ones are just ~68 intel atom airmont cores in a trench coat, with 4-way SMT and AVX512 bolted on, in a LGA 3647 socket

     @chjara@akko.wtf i have both types. the first generation ones are almost impossible to actually use these days unfortunately - you can set up a vm to host them properly if you get the vfio stuff set up right. unfortunately i can't do that on the 2nd gen xeon phi system because it doesn't support virtualization (it would otherwise be my only good option for running the 1st gen cards i have)
