この件についての The Registerの記事を流し読みして、とても重要な点を
忘れてました：

"Intel puts x64 in a parallel universe", 1st June 2010
  http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/06/01/intel_knights_co_processor/
  http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/06/01/intel_knights_co_processor/page2.html

No GPU speak required (2ページ冒頭)



  "The important thing about MIC, as far as Intel is concerned, is
   that the same C, C++, and Fortran compilers and the same developer
   tools and libraries used by HPC customers who deploy parallel
   Xeon server clusters will work on the MIC co-processors. There
   will be different optimizations, of course. But you don't have to
   speak GPU to make these things work"

最後に
  "By comparison, a Knights co-processor with 50 cores and running at
   maybe 1.5 GHz could have as much as 2 teraflops of single-precision
   floating point performance. It is unclear if it will be able to
   run double precision calculations with any speed, but such a chip
   supporting 1 teraflops of double precision oomph would be compelling
   to a lot of HPC shops with lots of x64 code."


今気付いたのですが、今回発表した
Kirk Skaugen氏は
  Vice President
  General Manager, Data Center Group
  http://www.intel.com/pressroom/kits/bios/kskaugen.htm
  "Skaugen most recently served as general manager of Intel's Server
   Platforms Group."
ですね。
