lol, I just stumbled across @TomF's blog post on #Larrabee, Intel's GPU project prior to #ARC.
It's widely parroted that #Intel#Phi is Larrabee without the texture units, but more accurately the Phi chip still has them, they're just unused (there's even DVI pins).
It makes me wonder to what degree they're disabled? Could a low level driver access them, or a modified firmware? 🤔
