I'm reminded of ... that ... Was it power cpu or risc? The one with the 1024 cpu cores. I did a search but can't find it.

Essentially 1024 cores soc server, affordable. Compared to that 64 cores sounds rather unimpressive. IMHO.

Having 64 powerful cores sounds more impressive than 1024 weak cores.

Also why even mention that 1024 core CPU instead of upmem. 128 cores per DIMM slot and up to 2560 cores in a single machine and they are fast precisely because they are directly attached to memory with a total memory bandwidth of 2.56TB/s.

Are you thinking the old sparc Niagara?

Parallela?

That was the platform; the company was Adapteva. Cavium and Tilera also had more cores than this approximately a decade ago. "Manycore" would be the generic term to search for.
