We consider the Mill family to be general-purpose, with the same potential markets as any other GP architecture (x86, ARM, zSeries, PowerPC, etc.). Individual family members can be configured for particular markets; the Gold mentioned in the talk is indeed somewhat Big Data oriented, with eight ALUs and only two FPUs. A High Silver, with six FPUs and a SIMD height of 256 bits, is an FP banger. A Tin, with one ALU, no FPU, and 8-byte SIMD, is at the low end. There is an architectural minimal size to Mills; there must be at least one ALU and one memory unit, and all Mills must use a 64-bit address; the z80 market is safe from us, and you won't see Mills in your toaster or thermostat. There's no architectural maximal Mill, but there are diminishing returns; in current process technology we feel that eight ALUs are getting close to that edge, but those decisions are made independently for each market and process.
