    I prefer:

    This thing looks about as powerful as the multi-processor systems that
    are used in some newer aircraft for flight/weapons control.

    I'd love to get a chance to play with one of these!

    Just think of the linux cluster you could build with one of those chips.

    I think it will be difficult to code because you will have to have software to schedule the order of cores in operation to do virtualization and other processes.

    It will have a huge heat problem. Just look at the fan and water cooling on this system. I doubt you will get a notebook model with this footprint:
