After six years of promises and no shipping silicon, Tachyum revises Prodigy processor specs to 1,024 cores with 1,600W of power consumption — likely another 5-year delay, company claims its chip is 20 times faster than Nvidia's Rubin NVL576 rack

Tachyum revises the specs for its Prodigy processor, boasting 1,024 cores and 1,600W power consumption, claiming it's faster than Nvidia's Rubin NVL576 rack. The Prodigy processor is said to feature a multi-chiplet design with up to 256 custom cores per chiplet. Tachyum plans to introduce 12 Prodigy SKUs, with the Prodigy Ultimate offering 768 or 1,024 cores, up to 128 PCIe lanes, and a 24-channel memory subsystem. However, the company's history of delays and lack of concrete performance data raise skepticism about the feasibility of these claims. Tachyum's ambitious plans may face challenges in staying competitive due to potential delays, high costs, and evolving market competition.
