The Epiphany 16 or 64 core chips consists of a scalable array of simple RISC processors programmable in C/C++ or a parallel programming framework like OpenCL. The mesh of independent cores are connected together with a fast on chip network within a single shared memory architecture.
The 66-core version of the Parallella board delivers over 90 GFLOPS while consuming only 5 Watts under typical work loads. For certain applications, this would provide more raw performance than a high end server costing thousands of dollars and consuming 400 Watts.
