The service lets software developers assess how their applications will perform on a number of multicore processor configurations — 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16 hardware threads — without having large multicore systems in-house.

Essentially, what Intel has done is reuse in the cloud the technology currently being used by its Parallel Amplifier tool (part of the Parallel Studio tool suite), which is designed to find multicore performance bottlenecks.
