8 cores at 5GHz, damn, that can be faster than even standard 32 cores.

That is exactly the system I am looking forward to seeing benchmarks on. Unless Vas does some dramatic improvements in MP coding ... this will be the strongest chess machine available to the public. 8 cores at 5Ghz should leave 32 core machines in the dust ... mainly due to inefficiency in MP scaling.
