...It may even be behind schedule?
- riedel 3y agoInteresting thing is that they do not have a Wikipedia entry. It seems purely a product of JU / European Processor Initiative. If this works it would be one of the few real successes of the European funding framework.
- brucethemoose2 3y agoMany interesting chips escape Wikipedia's gaze. For instance, there was a very interesting x86, Zen-like CPU from Centaur with an onboard AI accelerator that is basically undocumented on Wikipedia: https://fuse.wikichip.org/news/3256/centaur-new-x86-server-processor-packs-an-ai-punch/ https://fuse.wikichip.org/news/3256/centaur-new-x86-server-p... https://fuse.wikichip.org/news/3099/centaur-unveils-its-new-server-class-x86-core-cns-adds-avx-512/ https://fuse.wikichip.org/news/3099/centaur-unveils-its-new-...
- my123 3y agoAt this point, Centaur pretty much no longer exists, with engineers transferred to Intel. CNS never ended up becoming a product.
- brucethemoose2 3y agoYes, but it was still fascinating! Imagine if it came out today. I feel like its the near perfect architecture for cheap GenAI.
- my123 3y agoIt was nowhere near that good. Looked neat on paper, but paper is just that at the end...
