I do not see this being feasible any time soon. Being a programmer as a profession I know that most computations can not be divided into 100 parts. That's absolutely nuts. We have hard enough time efficiently dividing a problem in 4 parts.
That depends entirely on the application you're writing; consider a task like rendering which is separable into millions of independent calculations.
Also note that there are different methods of parallelizing a task. I spent some time last year programming on a 336 core processor. It uses a pipelined architecture which is unlike conventional CPUs.
I have to ask the question then that if this cpu is going to cost thousands of dollars is it really going to be that much quicker then dropping all the money into a bunch of gulftown chips? This totally isn't my area to be dipping into, just curious what this thing would actually excel at.

AFAIK SOI incurs a density cost due to the extra insulator layer, and Intel avoids that.
TSMC is a bulk process, not SOI.
But yeah, Intel has excellent fabrication abilities.
