It might not end up with the hoped for performance per watt -- or even with all that good performance, period. It might not even be built in silicon. But it is a damn interesting architecture. You don't get to present bits and pieces of it over several EE380 talks unless the grownups think it is interesting, too. (It is also a lot less like the Itanic than it initially seemed. I think we will know a lot more in about a month, since there will be a new talk in Amsterdam about the new vector model and their µthreading model.)
