Yeah did you already check which big capital S processor the raspberry Pi has? Single core ARM and low clocked.
If you cluster ARMs, why not get for a few dollar more a quadcore 1.7Ghz ARM A9. For example: http://www.hardkernel.com/renewal_2011/products/prdt_info.php? g_code=G135341370451 If you buy a lot i bet you can get it for a big reduction. If you produce a board yourself, buying in quadcore ARMs is relative cheap. With quadcores at least the ARM cluster can have a throughput then that's higher than a single i7 CPU, which shows the advantages of a cluster. With raspberry pi's no one cares of course.
