Maybe I'm naive, but with multi-core CPUs, and parallel GCs, isn't it somehow the same? One core is mostly only used for GC, while the others do other things?

Edit: I guess they mention their chip itself can do it at a high level of parallelism, so that's probably one more advantage. But CPUs with additional slower cores and a lot more cores are in the works as well.
