Hmm, the Mac Pro has Xeon processors and PCIe slots. People were complaining just recently about the lack of Mac Pro updates.
I assume some of Apple's professional video tools, at least, are CPU-bound. They'd probably love to have an "add 50 more processors" option for Mac Pros.
The Phi cores are really slow unless you use the SIMD unit; the typical way to do that would be OpenCL, but you can run OpenCL code faster on your GPU.
