Tiny CPU maker bets on thousands of cores

Pezy Computing unveiled its SC4s processor, a radical departure from mainstream designs, featuring thousands of cores using a Multiple Instructions Multiple Data approach. The SC4s processor, fabricated on TSMC's 5nm process with a large die size, aims for massive parallelism by allowing cores to operate with greater independence, a strategy distinct from current industry trends. While simulations suggest significant efficiency gains, skepticism surrounds these claims until independent benchmarks validate the processor's real-world performance.
