The energy-efficient KiloCore chip contains 621 million transistors, researchers said.
While other multiple-processor chips have been created, none exceed about 300 processors, researchers said.
Most were created for research purposes and few are sold commercially.
Baas said that the chip is the most energy-efficient many-core processor ever reported.
The KiloCore chip performs instructions more than 100 times more efficiently than a modern laptop processor.
The team has finished a compiler and automatic programme mapping tools for use in programming the chip.
The KiloCore was recently presented at the 2016 Symposium on VLSI Technology and Circuits in Honolulu.
