That's kind of not good news. I was hoping for 4nm to have some alterative to Intel/AMD/Apple.
- imiric 3y agoIt's unrealistic to expect these chips to compete with modern manufacturing standards. Still, it's very impressive the progress RISC-V has made in the last few years. It's actually a viable option for many projects now.
- bibanez 3y agoGuess what you need to develop 4nm (spoiler, it’s a lot of money). There are many applications where 22nm is a good tradeoff.

- rwmj 3y agoYou don't do your first experimental test chips on 4nm. That's where you get to when you have raised hundreds of millions after you've gone through several iterations to prove to investors you know what you're doing.
- stefs 3y agoi guess this chip is not for high end gaming machines or servers, but rather cars, industrial machine controlling, smart fridges, that kind of stuff. during covid production of many appliances ground to a halt because of various chip shortages. now what if for some reason asian chips became unavailable in europe (wars, natural catastrophes, ...)? cheap and easy to build is far more important than high end performance here.
- imtringued 3y agoWell then you're supposed to take a look at what Tenstorrent is doing. They haven't named their processor after a dragon slaying sword for no reason.
