Sure, it's a bit of an ad for their teardown report ($4500). This seems really expensive given that they haven't done a SI-style CPU decapping and imaging. This is only for board layout and a few performance tests they ran. BTW, it looks like SI was acquired by UBM TechInsights.
Here's a direct link to the pdf, which gives more info than the web version. Note that their decapping and imaging seems really poor -- first photo has all metal layers intact, second seems to be badly milled so very little is visible. The article seems to hint that this is an early version and they'll be following up with more details later.
