Efficient Computer's Electron E1 CPU – 100x more efficient than Arm?
100x More Efficient than Arm?
For too long, our processors have been stuck in a control flow model, constantly shuffling data back and forth between caches, memory, and compute units – a process I think we can all agree that burns significant energy at every step. But Efficient Computer claims their chip is built upon a spatial data flow architecture - not as just another AI accelerator in disguise, but a "very general purpose CPU" designed specifically for power-constrained systems like those found in the embedded market. The companies that fall under this banner include AMD, Applied Materials, Armari, ASM, Ayar Labs, Baidu, Bolt Graphics, Dialectica, Facebook, GLG, Guidepoint, IBM, Impala, Infineon, Intel, Kuehne+Nagel, Lattice Semi, Linode, MediaTek, NextSilicon, NordPass, NVIDIA, ProteanTecs, Qualcomm, Recogni, SiFive, SIG, SiTime, Supermicro, Synopsys, Tenstorrent, Third Bridge, TSMC, Untether AI, Ventana Micro.
