It took a while but TI finally has a contender (TMS320C667x family) that goes beyond the Analog Devices ADI’s ADSP-TS201S TigerSHARC:
the TMS320C667x family:
C6000 High Performance Multicore DSP - TMS320C66x DSP - TMS320C6678 - TI.com
C6000 High Performance Multicore DSP - TMS320C66x DSP - TMS320C6674 - TI.com
C6000 High Performance DSP - TMS320C667x DSP - TMS320C6671 - TI.com
The 8-core version is around $200. That's 8 cores in the same chip. Each core can be clocked up to 1.25GHz.
Here's a high level comparison against the ADSP-TS201S:

I salivate at what a future Axe-Fx product could do with one of these
- Imagine one core completely dedicated to Reverb for example.
- Seamless spillover
- More power available for amp sims...
- <insert other possibilities here>
