Nvidia has some serious competition coming their way.
Etched (@Etched): We’re coming out of stealth.
We’ve built our first racks after a successful A0 tapeout, $1B+ in customer contracts, and $800m raised.
Early customer tests show us achieving SOTA throughput, latency, and power efficiency on inference workloads.
Our first racks ship this summer.
