NextSilicon Maverick-2 promises to blow away the HPC market Nvidia left behind
The one chip startup building accelerators for something other than AI boasts performance up 10x that of modern GPUs using a fraction the power Researchers and engineers working in particle physics, materials analysis, or drug discovery haven't exactly been spoiled for choice when it comes to chips capable of the highly precise double-precision calculations that these workloads depend. NextSilicon aims to change that with Maverick-2, a chip aimed not at AI but the high-performance computing (HPC) community....
