How? Most GPUs have the same if not less cores than something like a E5-2699v3 which no one would consider manycore. For instance something like the GM204 is basically a 16 core design.

KNL doesn't have enough cores to even be considered a real manycore. Not to mention that KNL is using multi-issue OOE cores. if anything, from programming model to functionality, KNL is just a high core count multi-core.
