Are you sure it's even built by IBM? From the quote below, it sounds like it's using 32 nm fabrication developed by IBM, but it's unclear from wording if it was actually built by IBM.

making the KiloCore 100 times more power-efficient than a laptop despite being built on old 32nm CMOS processor tech from IBM.

the ISA (which I assume is some common RISC-like thing) who knows how
useful it could ever be outside of testing how many "cores" can be
stuffed on a single chip.. I'm curious how much the chip-to-chip
"networking" consumes compared to the cores themselves, as well as how
the hell you'd try to program that for any level of high utilization..

Hi,

100 PF is really not far from reality right now:

Is this why IBM just release its KiloCore processor ?

like to be more optimum in the future HPC market with cheaper product ...

except that many top500-leading systems are just national publicity
stunts.
