You can get it from somewhere on the intel website (over 1MB PDF). It looks pretty weird. At the same clock speed, i suspect it will be faster than anything else. But it might turn out to be hard to make at fast clock speeds. The public documents i've seen give no hints about how they will implement it, when it will hit the market, etc. Past attempts to make similar architectures were huge flops. (There were quite a few in the late 1980s.) But Intel has more resources, and technology has improved a lot, so who knows? I suspect most of it's advanced features won't be a big help to chess programs unless the programmers are extremely clever.
