While ...I have to confess being equally skeptical. While I think okay for a very targeted application, where the architecture has been well thought out to be matched with that specific application. As a general purpose platform though? Even then, I'm pretty skeptical about using a bunch of processors for applications like graphics, where a customized accelerator tends to be a better optimization for performance, speed and area.
