This is very interesting on paper but it will be even more interesting to see in action. The problem I see is that this will be so far away. I believe 4-6 years until the architecture is available, and then another 2-3 years until any kind of software is designed to use the power of this many cores.
Mainstream dual core technology is 1 1/2 years old already, yet there are almost no software applications that can use it to it's full potential.
But with technology you never know what the real timeline will be. Maybe this architecture will be available in just a few years and hopefully software developers will have caught up by then and be able to scale their software to multiple cores quickly.
But that's just my opinion.
