Another claim for having 1,000 processor cores on a single chip.

"The energy-efficient “KiloCore” chip has a maximum computation rate of 1.78 trillion instructions per second and contains 621 million transistors. Cores operate at an average maximum clock frequency of 1.78 GHz.
The chip is the most energy-efficient “many-core” processor ever reported, Baas said. For example, the 1,000 processors can execute 115 billion instructions per second while dissipating only 0.7 Watts, low enough to be powered by a single AA battery. The KiloCore chip executes instructions more than 100 times more efficiently than a modern laptop processor."
They don't go into many details about the processors (i.e. #bits, RISC or ??), but what would you do with a 1,000 cores?
