Hi folks,

I've just read that end of 2017 Intel plans to release a special Xeon
Phi variant codenamed "Knights Mill" (not to be confused with "Knights
Hill"), aimed specifically at deep learning applications.

In case you happen to come across this CPU, keep your fingers off it. It
will probably sacrifice a lot of double-precision floating-point
performance (which is what POV-Ray needs) for improved single- and
half-precision arithmetics (which in POV-Ray are of lesser importance
and entirely irrelevant, respectively).
