Intel Xeon PHi 7250 68 Core Server Processor CPU 1.40GHz 16GB LGA-3647 X200 READ | eBay Intel Xeon Phi processors do not currently support Virtualization. Intel is working with interested OEMs, customers, and the virtualization developer community in providing them with Virtualization feature at a later date.

Not a shocking surprise This is a pretty special processor but being essentially 72 atom cores in a token ring with obscenely fast bus, memory and an extended 512k instruction set the idea that the master node could run esxi doesn't seem like a stretch it's more a question of why you would want to.

In hpc you are trying to squeeze out overheads, pipeline like crazy and get as embarrassingly parallel as possible.

That is not a Xeon Phi as a FYI. I sent a note about this to the seller but they disregarded.

Well enough with the suspense, what is it?

Based on notches, Skylake-EP

Oh I thought they were sharing a socket? Do they each have different notches?

 

[Patrick]

Here is a Xeon Phi that I installed in the data center earlier today:

You can see the close double-notch pattern.

The double notch (see far corners in that CPU shot) is on HPE, Lenovo and Supermicro LGA 3647 motherboards I have seen.

I have 3 of those here... <runs and hides >

Dang Patrick, you get them finally

 

[RobertFontaine]

Looking forward to reviews. I would be happy to volunteer for long term testing.
