Intel Xeon Phi
Does a Xeon Phi coprocessor work with folding@home? If so what performance would you expect? They are cheap on ebay.

Re: Intel Xeon Phi
You didn't search very hard before posting, there are already many threads about Xeon Phi on the forum.
Here are two examples :
FAH and Xeon Phi compatibility?
Intel MIC (aka Xeon Phi)

Re: Intel Xeon Phi
Specifically see this post from the second link - viewtopic.php?f=38&t=21842&start=45#p292905. One person who tried out a Xeon Phi 7210 reported on his experience 2+ years ago.
One caveat, CPU projects that would use as many core threads pretty much have finished. Most, if not all, large projects now go to GPU processing.
