There are two, one to not use Cuda and one to use MIC. They are separate, Cuda was dumped and nothing was put in it's place. MIC was picked up LONG after.

Cuda, I don't want to get in to, but there are problems that make the NV methodology unacceptable to any SEC regulated entity, or at least that is what I was told. It is a fundamental issue with how things are done, but I can't be more specific.

MIC was picked up because of programming ease. It is not 100% the speed of a GPU, but the ease in which they could extract a large %age of the performance was the selling point.

FWIW, they haven't looked at OpenCL yet, but they will for the next round. I would guess that it won't be there for two generations yet.
