You do realise it takes three to four years to go from licensing a core from someone like Tenstorrent to having a mass-production chip, on a board, in the market?
We are just now in the first half of 2023 getting mass-production chips and boards using cores announced in October 2018 (SiFive U74 -- VisionFive 2, Pine64 Star64 and PineTab-V, Milk-V Mars) and July 2019 (THead C910 -- Sipeed Lichee Pi 4A, Milk-V Pioneer).
This is NORMAL.
It took the same amount of time from Arm A53 announced (October 2012) to Raspberry Pi 3 (February 2016) and Arm A72 announced (February 2015) to Pi 4 (July 2019) and Graviton 1 installed at AWS (Movember 2018).
It takes a while, but once set in motion it is basically clockwork inevitable.
