Once again, @ErrataRob derails my brilliant plan to build an MSP430 workstation and server platform.https://twitter.com/ErrataRob/status/980907462973902849 …
Of course if Intel made simple cores they could be competitive here too, but they abandoned the Atom microarchitecture that was the closest thing they had (and likely their only hope for making chips unaffected by Spectre).

I want to see a server using a Xeon Phi (72 Atom cores) do a Linux compile. The massive floating point logic may make things inefficient, but it'd still be fun to try.
-
Wow interesting. I had no idea Larrabee was non-OOOE. I might have to pick one up as a better Spectre-free option than the S1260 I've got now.
-
That's the old stuff. The latest (Knight's Landing) is OoO, using the newer Airmont cores that are OoO. It turns out that some OoO is still more power efficient than none at all.
-
Right, but I specifically want non-OOOE. Thus looking at old stuff.
-
Sadly it looks like the old stuff was never produced in significant commercial quantities...
