An article popped up at S|A that announced Intel's former Knights Corner (Larabee) project was now in fruition of sorts in Xeon Phi cards. Due to the coding simplicity of the architecture it may do less work than a gpgpu but it is very much easier to code for. As such CD at S|A said it was the death knell for Nvidia's HPC dominance (and kyboshing AMD too).
I thought it was a CD rant and paid no attention.
But i just read a second article there from Anandtech and it kinda summarises the same thing. In other words, the raw power of gpu compute is no match for the coding simplicity of the Intel coprocessor Xeon Phi (which is no slouch).
This could dent Nvidias market quite a bit.
