Agree, but people have all kinds of pre-conceived notions about co-processors so let's clarify some things: e5 can't self-boot, doesn't have virtual memory management, and doesn't have hardware caching, but otherwise they are "real" cores. Each RISC core can run a lightweight runtime/scheduler/OS and be a host.
