Interesting 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.


Many 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/3099/centaur-unveils-its-new-...


At this point, Centaur pretty much no longer exists, with engineers transferred to Intel. CNS never ended up becoming a product.


Yes, but it was still fascinating!

Imagine if it came out today. I feel like its the near perfect architecture for cheap GenAI.


It was nowhere near that good.

Looked neat on paper, but paper is just that at the end...
