It seems that SGI had a design/plan to put 10,000 Atom cores in a
single 42U Rack, yielding some impressive numbers...

Quote:

"If someday brought to market, a single-rack system based on the
Silicon Graphics Molecule concept computer would offer the computing
power and memory bandwidth of more than 750 high-end PCs, SGI said,
yet it would consume less than half the power and less than 1.4
percent of the physical space."

That could have been interesting...
