This looks pretty similar to the parallela, with better price, nicer software support and better manufacturing horizon.
Oh well, that was somewhat predictable: parallela competed with nvidia in something that nvidia cared about and could execute.

NVIDIA is SIMD, a 32 thread warp doing the same instruction in lockstep (in 4 cycles usually on 8 SPs, the 192 SP chip can run 24 warps simultaneously, though specific numbers may change a bit from version to version) and heavily penalized for in-warp divergence.
Parallela - i.e. Adapteva (http://www.adapteva.com/epiphanyiv/) is 64 independent (execution-wise) RISC cores.
