It seems to be more of an "attached processor" that you can stream data to and have the thing do some sort of floating point operation repeatedly to the values as they stream in and out. IE several vendors have done this over the years and the things do well for programs that massage large arrays of data doing numerical computations. But for non-vector applications, they don't help at all. Note that I am not 100% sure of what they are doing as the details were sketchy, but first glance says "good for math, useless for chess."
