Most of their technology is not related to the processors themselves, but to the rest of the computer. They've got a fancy high-bandwidth, low-latency interconnect between the chips. They multiplex access to I/O hardware, which I'm sure takes advantage of that nice interconnect. They have hardware-accelerated network load balancing which tries to keep the CPUs at maximally-efficient levels of utilization, letting the spare CPUs sleep, and avoiding malfunctioning CPUs. I would love to see this with ARM Cortex-A9 processors, and I think that's actually very likely if this company succeeds.
