Farewell Intel Xeon Phi: Support Removed In The GCC 15 Compiler
Last week I wrote about Intel aiming to remove Xeon Phi support in GCC 15 with the products being end-of-life and deprecated in GCC 14
This commit to GCC Git today removes the Xeon Phi ISA support from the GNU Compiler Collection and lightens the codebase by 4.4k lines of code. Used Xeon Phi co-processor cards can be found on the likes of surplus stores and eBay for as low as $50~60 USD but again with the software support being phased out and was limited to begin with, it's a rather poor proposition. It's also expected that GCC 15 will be retiring the Itanium IA-64 support after that discontinued Intel product line was previously dropped from the mainline Linux kernel.
