Not to mention Tilera, who makes 36-core chips/cards [1], with 4 in a 1U box [2], with each processor with connected to each its four neighbors by a 250 Gb/s link.

But Tilera uses its own architecture, ARM on the other hand is nearly everywhere.

There were other companies like Tilera: Transputer, Connection Machine.......SiCortex was founded in 2003 with a similar idea and was shutting down by 2009

The problems with these architectures is cost: mass market tech like x86 and ARM offers more bang for your buck

Interesting that these can run a single OS as a huge multi-core machine.

It might be worth pointing out that TileGX isn't ARM.

It is an interesting system though.
