This "thing" is made for attain the ExaFlops ( 1000 Petaflops ), for supercomputers, today supercomputers achieve at best 50 PetaFlops.
The question in reality is not much this APU, this was a design example, the thing is how they can combine it in a system for achieve it. This was point of the presentation for IEEE.
Here's the original image with the explanation about the off chips memory package, the cabinet network ..etc .

after the fiasco of the last 2 gen, AMD should do something really exeptional to just get attention... despite sounding good this doesn't seem exeptional.

I have nothing against AMD , but all the time , you hear about a beast coming and when time comes you find a little cat !

No matter what way you cut it, this EHP looks to be a beast.
Only two questions remain.
Can it run Batman and will it be of practical use for researchers?

I'm pretty sure AMD has mostly learned their lesson. But, they're still banking on GPGPUs, which isn't a bad thing but software is still far behind from effectively supporting that. Modern APUs could probably outperform an i7 if software revolved around HSA and OpenCL, but that's an unrealistic expectation, and the products perform poorly as a result.

This isn't intended for domestic use. This isn't even intended for large enterprise datacentre use. This is intended to allow AMD to soak up some of that sweet US taxpayer money following the recent announcement for the push to build an exascale supercomputer to get one over on the Chinese. The official line is that it will be used for modelling the aerodynamics of future space vehicles and climate modelling, but really it's just a pissing contest.
