IBM will want to have a word with them, I guess.

Will this machine ever not be vaporware?

I doubt this will ever be a successful product.

Increasing die size 20% can massively increase cost because it affects yield.

Increasing core count 50% does not increase performance by 50%.

I suspect increasing die size by 20% to increase core count by 50% is going to hurt the price-to-performance ratio. This implies incompetent management.
