That’s how I had always thought about mainframes before, but the focus on low latency here seems to suggest a different purpose (more sports car like than any x86 server cpu) is this a different kind of mainframe?

The freight train part of my thinking is admittedly dated .

This is an impressively fast design, but you'll get much more x86 for the same money -> x86 wins when you can scale out.
