Isn't there some kind of diminishing returns on this, where it starts to make more sense to offload things to a GPU or something instead of piling on ever more CPU cores? There has to be a lot of inefficiencies in that many interconnects.

This is the type of processor companies want in things like VM servers that host large numbers of VMs.

GPU processing units are really good at only specific kinds of computation. These are still all-around processors.

Yep. I would LOVE one of these chips in a kubernetes node.
