Normad Computing's CN 101 Chip and Future Potential

Thomas Ahle mentions that Normad Computing has released its first chip, the CN 101, which is now in silicon. While it currently targets a narrow band of probabilistic workloads, the key test will be its performance as the technology scales up, and how benchmarks reflect this progress.

They've already released their first version of this technology. It's a chip called CN 101, all the way to silicon. It's still early days and it's aimed at a fairly narrow band of probabilistic workloads.
Thomas Ahle
But the real test is what can the benchmarks say once they scale this up?
