Xeon Phi is a family of x86 many-core microprocessors designed by Intel since 2012 for supercomputers and workstations primarily aimed at scientists and researchers. Xeon Phi differs from other GPGPU and many-core processors in its unique quality that it retains almost full compatibility with existing x86 software and libraries allowing those processors to tap into the extensive x86 ecosystem.
