FYI, Intel tried that with the aborted &quot;Larrabee&quot; project, so not a stupid question at all. It ended up being a too hard problem to solve. They reused the technology to make the Xeon Phi coprocessors which are basically PCIE computing &quot;accelerators&quot;; for a class of workload, and if you&#x27;re willing to rewrite your code, they are faster and more power efficient than GPUs.<p>Although there are many companies trying to crack this many-core problem (Kalray, AppliedMicro, Adapteva, Cavium, Tilera), I&#x27;m not aware of any &quot;successful&quot; solution.
