Design looks very familiar (further development of INMOS Transputer)

The design looks soo much like a transputer only with more interfaces like the Gig Ethernet and PCIe interfaces added and faster. But in the core is has a lot of the transputer architecture.

I would not be surprised to see a patent law suite (unless licenses have been exhanges etc) from STMicroelectronics who bought INMOS and probable own the patents if any.
