Tachyum Achieves Engineering-Proof Status: All Critical Prodigy Components Exceed Design Goals
Summary
Tachyum achieved engineering proof of performance using the Cadence® Innovus™ Implementation System (industry standard CAD tool) to place & route (incl.Tachyum used 7nm standard cells provided by the world’s largest silicon fabricator to build all critical circuits of the Prodigy core – arithmetic logic units, register files and data caches, etc.The company is expected to expand equity investment opportunities, and plans on releasing an FPGA prototype in 2019, with volume chip production in 2020.“While we were fortunate to have bought into Tachyum’s vision early, we anticipate that there will be additional interest from the broader investment community and potential OEM partners, who will look to leverage Tachyum’s success to build out their own data center, next generation AI, and HPC solutions.”Tachyum’s founders have a track record of solving problems caused by device physics in semiconductors, to deliver transformational products to global markets, and are backed by IPM Growth, the Central & Eastern European venture capital platform, as Tachyum’s lead investor.
