From a user perspective, the only difference would be that Intel\'s chip is more generic in nature with OpenMP and Message Passing (MPB) support, making it possible to port existing applications. MPI application may require extensive rework though.</p> <p>But a great approach nevertheless. I feel, it could seriously create a major impact in HPC and IaaS areas by increasing core density in a single rack or location. They should come up with the x86_64 version for any real world adoption though. </p> The concept is nothing new, and there are manufacturers who have been doing this for a while now – A 54 Core Chip specifically for Java Apps – http://www.azulsystems.com/technology/vega .

Though really speaking, I don\'t have the foggiest about how suitable it might be for this kind of hardware. </p> A first read of the article made me think of micro-kernel based OSes, namely GNU/Hurd.
