Being a dead end doesn't mean the idea was bad, things both fail and succeed for complex reasons. This is a tired trope.

I don't think they were saying it was a bad idea, though they may have been suggesting it is a bad investment.
Personally, I wasn't impressed by the press release. It is so vague that it makes it look like they don't know the history of their field or they are outright ignoring it to make their product sound novel. The former is just as problematic as the latter. There are reasons why parallelization is typically offloaded onto coprocessors and reasons why the introduction of new CPU architectures are rares.
