Intel have already demo'd an 80 core processor, however all these cores are very simple. The fact that this is aimed at set top boxes indicates that it'll be 64 cores optimised to encoding/decoding.

The only bit that might be impressive is if they've made any progress in getting all 64 cores 100% utilised at one time, and not run into memory sharing problems.
