Tenstorrent Wormhole Developer Kits Launched

Tenstorrent has launched its "Wormhole" PCIe developer kits, featuring two main cards, the n150s and n300s, with Tensix cores derived from RISC-V, GDDR6 memory, local SRAM caches, and high-speed Ethernet interconnect. The n300s includes a local 400GbE link. These kits aim to disrupt the AI server market and offer an alternative to NVIDIA hardware, providing cost-saving opportunities for developers. Tenstorrent also offers pre-built workstations with Intel Xeon Silver or AMD EPYC platforms combined with the n300s cards. By offering eight ASICs in a developer box, Tenstorrent enables developers to work individually or partition resources for multiple users. Priced at $18K, the system includes 96GB of GDDR6, competing closely with NVIDIA's GPUs at a lower cost. While not an immediate threat to NVIDIA's dominance, Tenstorrent's developer kits provide a new architecture option for AI developers looking to explore alternatives. This move positions Tenstorrent as a serious player in the AI hardware market, backed by experienced chip designers like CEO Jim Keller.
