I think the parent was referring to the same noise that you are, compute precision, not transmission, and was suggesting that perhaps it won’t easily stay within bounds due to the fact that some kinds of repeated calculations lose more precision at every step. Maybe it’s application dependent, maybe NNs or other matrix-heavy domains can tolerate low precision much more easily than scientific simulations. It certainly wouldn’t surprise me if these “LightOPS” processors work well in a narrow range of applications, and won’t improve or speed up just anything that needs a matrix multiply.
