From the Hacker News discussion
Jim Keller is building RISC-V Ascalon processor at Tenstorrent right now. [VIDEO] If I recall correctly, some things were planned to be open sourced.
Read original comment ↗Jim Keller's team is creating a 6-wide issue RISC-V CPU. It should have similar IPC as ARM X1 or AMD Zen 3. [VIDEO]
Read original comment ↗Jim Keller is overseeing a very large RISC-V core that should be around the same performance level as X1 or Zen 3. I guess we'll see what the ISA can do pretty soon. He said they were talking about open-sourcing the CPU block. If they did (the CPU isn't their core business), we could see lots of RISC-V competition popping up. The age of CPUs being commodity items seems to be approaching. [VIDEO]
Read original comment ↗They're apparently working on one, in-house[0]. It's apparently called Ascalon, and there's some information starting at around 8 minutes into the video. 0. [VIDEO]
