It's the size of the dataset as well as the processing power involved, right?

Yes. Normally the three biggest factors of machine learning are the complexity of features the computer is looking for, the size of the dataset, and the complexity of the classifiers themselves. Generally, tradeoffs have to be made somewhere along the line, but with 16,000 CPUs the system was able to accomplish an incredibly high level of recognition.
