Different insane idea, but sadly with some serious limitations. As of 
this year a company called Rapport has released a chip with 256 cores on 
it. They plan to eventually produce one with 1,000 cores. The 
drawback... To lower energy use they only use 8-bit cores, running at 
100mhz.

But still.... Yikes!!!
