Our take

Advances in Artificial Intelligence applications combined with a global chip shortage are strong tailwinds for chip processor, Tenstorrent. The semi-conducter developer is designing specialized chips for running artificial intelligence applications.

The company’s unique approach builds its chips for ‘software 2.0’ which its leaders envisions will be written at a higher level. This feature, combined with conditional computing results in a scalable distributed network approach that is analogous to a human brain.

A key early goal is to attract outside programmers who write cutting-edge A.I. applications to try out their software on Tenstorrent's chips.

While the market for specialised A.I. hardware is destined to be gigantic, the company still has to compete with a plethora of hopeful startups as well as major tech companies like NVIDIA and Qualcomm. Tenstorrent is focused on its product development plans - adding RISC-V as a priority to its product roadmap - and is aiming to add 100 engineers to its team by the end of 2023.
