Thanks for the link.

In terms of raw numbers, $2,649 for 320 GB/sec and 8 GB of memory is 
quite a lot compared to the $500 of a Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition at 288 
GB/sec and 3 GB memory. My hope is that Xeon Phi can do better than GPUs 
in kernels requiring frequent global synchronizations, e.g. 
ILU-substitutions.

Best regards,
