Rumours flying that the Xeon Phi family is in jeopardy, but the
article has an addendum to say:
# [Update: Intel denies they are dropping the Xeon Phi line,
# saying only that it has "been revised based on recent
# customer and overall market needs."]
This should cause some confusion.
While Knights Hill was cancelled, Intel has quietly put information
about Knights Mill online as the next Phi product line:

I partially disagree with "confusion". It's simple because KNM has
minimal microarchitecture changes vs KNL, and does not focus on normal
DP-precision. KNM focuses on SP etc, and is oriented to Deep Learning,
AI etc.
