It's not trivial to engineer a massively-multi-core general-purpose processor. I would try it with MIPS or ARM instead of x86, but I guess this is not an option for Intel.
AMD, however, doesn't need to preserve the x86 ISA's status as an industry standard. Quite the contrary: anything they do to hurt Intel will only make them stronger. And they have some folks with massively-multi-core expertise in-house.
That chip appears to be worse than Larrabee in every respect. In particular it is much harder to program, which would just make Intel's late drivers later.
