Tachyum says that new EDA tools, utilised during the physical design phase of the Prodigy Universal Processor, have allowed the company to achieve significantly better results with chip specifications than previously anticipated, after the successful change in physical design tools.

Availability of its Prodigy Universal Processor prototype, built using field-programmable gate array (FPGA) emulation boards has been announced by Tachyum.

Tachyum says it has met its goal of volume production of the Prodigy Universal Processor in 2021 by achieving 96% of silicon designed and layout completed, with only a stable netlist layout to go before the final netlist and tape out.

Tachyum says that it has successfully completed a demonstration showing its Prodigy Universal Processor running faster than any other processor, HPC or AI chips.
