The article is a little dated. It was written in the wake of Intel acquiring Nervana and Movidius, which it used as a hook to talk about Wave Computing. Wave was founded a few months before Nervana in 2014, and raised a similar amount of money (~$24M), which is just enough to get to your first chip if you don't waste resources. There are other companies tackling this (Cerberas Sys.) and other technologies that can get you acceleration (FPGAs).
