Intel Shows 8 Core 528 Thread Processor with Silicon Photonics

It's simple: 528 = 8 * (2 +64),

where 2 is number of slow threads, like current CPU,

and 64 are more like GPU threads.

This architecture could be next step in GPU integration. Hope they manage to write efficient implementation for standard math libs. It could be faster than separate CPU+GPU in one package.

I think it’s 2 fast threads that anre like normal cpu core threads (ooo, etc) and 64 simpler threads that are expected to be mostly waiting on ram.
