Among the 50 MCUs are 15 special processors that can handle things like graphics and physics processing. The result is a chip and system that are freakishly powerful and would make any PC gamer drool. The DRAM can access the CPU cache at a rate of 30GB/sec. and non-CPU cache at 68GB/sec. The embedded RAM can transfer data at a rate of 204GBs/sec to different parts of the chip.

I think this article is a rehash. i didn't see a hardware thread. That's a Puresoul02 title for you....youre welcome

haha, amazing read:

Then came the Kinect group, and that was even more impressive.

Microsoft used PC standards – an x86 CPU, a DirectX 11 GPU and DDR3 memory – but it threw out the traditional PC architecture to create a beast.

Kinect has a 4-channel beam forming microphone with multiple antennas to direct the audio signal where you want it to go.
 
Every now & then, more hidden power is uncovered. Next thing we know, each X1 has a magical hamster running on a wheel, generating 1 extra hamster power.
