One application, where this type of processor makes sense, is network based middleboxes. Think of things like firewalls that have evolved to have a lot of different functionality and a need for a lot of simultaneous thread processing availability. This type of chip on a SmartNIC could be very popular. And while this is a bit niche I'm sure there are plenty of other use cases. E.g. nodes running a lot of FaaS containers, VPS providers looking to offer higher CPU count but lower clock speeds, etc.
