This might not work for use cases where you need low latency, but for longer winded processing it would be amazing if possible.

For example, if I have a few servers, laptop (connected to power) as well as a desktop PC and they’re all connected to a fast local network, it’d be great to distribute the task of rendering a video or working with archive files across all of them.

Those are two precise examples that benefit from single core compute power, and are wholly unsuited to distributed computing…

Distributed rendering farms have existed for a while.

They render a single frame though. Admittedly, so does video rendering.
