How do you plan to feed data to these 31 thousand processors so they
can be fully utilized? Have you done the calculations and checked what
memory bandwidth would you need for that?
There are reasons Pentium 4 has the performance you mention, but these
reasons don't necessary include the "great hulking piece of crap"
statement.
Thanks,
Lucho
