This reminds me of the Ambric am2045 with 336 cores from 2007. They put 40 of these into an X-Ray machine for a total of 13,000 cores.

There's (1) talking about getting ~60 tflops from ~130k compute elements by 3d assembly of 128mb ram . But it requires microfluidics cooling so it would be very expensive.

But in another paper(2), the authors say that offering this chip, even expensively ,could start building the ecosystem and and environment to start a Moore's law like race to solve the heat issue via photonics .

Yeah whatevs. This reminds me of the ICL DAP with 1024 processors from 1979...
