A Breakdown of AI Chip Companies

This overview seemed excessively cynical until I got to the end and realized that he’s actually trying to pitch his new AI Chip startup idea: Cherry Computers.<p>Does this mean he’s done with the Comma self-driving product?

I actually was a hardware developer for a while, and I&#x27;m not sure this will pan out like the author thinks. A 1 GHz CPU on an FPGA won&#x27;t happen, even a 7 nm FPGA. Also, host memory latency and bandwidth will likely kill any hopes of putting the special- purpose CPU far from its memory.<p>The best outcome is a new RISC-V matrix extension, though, which sounds pretty cool and useful given the Apple M1.<p>Good luck!

1 instruction per cycle at 1GHz? With no custom memory architecture?? On an FPGA???? Keep dreaming, kid.

If his cherry line is suppose to work so good, why hasn’t anyone else done something similar? Is it the new expansion of RISC-V? Would love to hear the thoughts of others that specializes in this!
