Tenstorrent is supposedly taping out 8-wide Ascalon processors as we speak, with devboards projected to be available in Q2/Q3 this year. BTW. Keller is also on the board of AheadComputing — founded by former Intel engineers behind the fabled "Royal Core". | ||

I can't know what Ascalon will actually be, but back in April/May 2025 there were actual performance numbers presented by Tenstorrent, and I analyzed what was shown. I concluded that Ascalon would be the x86_64 equivalent of an i5-9600K. That's useable for many applications, but it's not going to change the world. A lot of "micro PCs" with low power CPUs are well past that now. If that's what Ascalon turns out to be, it will amount to an SBC class device. | ||

>Ascalon tape out Supposedly happened earlier this year. Tenstorrent says devboards in Q3. Now we just wait. | ||
