As of today, Tendrils has completed a $30M round led by Benchmark to rebuild general-purpose computing. Contemporary CPUs are made under the constraint of backwards compatibility with sequential, single-core chips. Accumulated layers of historical designs are locking engineers into decisions dating back to the 1970s. As a result, all existing CPUs are bottlenecked by complex cache coherency protocols and elaborate reorder buffers. CPU scaling is sabotaged from the start. At Tendrils, we believe ...
