First of all this seems like a bigger DSP to me. Been there done that. Or a teensy vector processor. I used FP to gain more registers a long time ago on PPC machines. It was a no win on x86. Returning to the chip in question. It seems like it would be hard to use effectivly. Imagine feeding 25GFlops worth of data on a 6.4 GB/s pipe. And factoring in the latencies. You would have to have a pretty compact data set with no interdependencies to get to break even. The possibility exists that you might calculate expensive functions. Hard to see that pay off.
