The Xeon Phi 3120A was an enthusiast-class professional graphics card by Intel, launched on November 12th, 2012. Built on the 22 nm process, and based on the Knights Corner graphics processor, the card does not support DirectX. Since Xeon Phi 3120A does not support DirectX 11 or DirectX 12, it might not be able to run all the latest games. The Knights Corner graphics processor is a large chip with a die area of 720 mm² and 5,000 million transistors. Unlike the fully unlocked Xeon Phi SE10X, which uses the same GPU but has all 976 shaders enabled, Intel has disabled some shading units on the Xeon Phi 3120A to reach the product's target shader count. It features 912 shading units, 32 texture mapping units, and 0 ROPs. Intel has paired 6 GB GDDR5 memory with the Xeon Phi 3120A, which are connected using a 384-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 1100 MHz, memory is running at 1250 MHz (5 Gbps effective).
Being a dual-slot card, its power draw is rated at 300 W maximum. This device has no display connectivity, as it is not designed to have monitors connected to it. Xeon Phi 3120A is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 3.0 x16 interface. The card measures 248 mm in length, and features a dual-slot cooling solution. Its price at launch was 1695 US Dollars.

Card Notes

On November 15, 2011, Intel showed an early silicon version of a Knights Corner processor.

On June 5, 2012, Intel released open source software and documentation regarding Knights Corner.

In June 2012, Cray announced it would be offering 22nm 'Knight's Corner' chips (branded as 'Xeon Phi') as a co-processor in its 'Cascade' systems.
