I wonder what the massively parallel CPU vendors like the Opteron 6xxx series or Sparc T-series would have to say about this.

Also, overall power usage isn't given much consideration, just response time.

I would say a core in Opteron 6xxx series at least still fits the defintiion of a brawny core. Its more about Atom/current ARM cores type of wimpy cores that we are talking about.

I'd say they'd at least be able to rely on the assertion from this paper that I/O beats CPU.

Fascinating and useful read, thanks for posting.
