First time I’ve heard of Tachyum, they sound like the “Duke Nuke Em” of computing hardware.

The universal Prodigy processor promises to equally perform well with general purpose, graphics, and AI/ML workloads was initially set to launch in 2020, following a planned tape-out in 2019. However, its release has faced multiple delays, with the schedule pushed back from 2021 to 2022, then to 2023, and later to 2024. Earlier this year, Tachyum announced that it would begin mass production of the Prodigy processors in the second half of 2024, though this vague timeline could extend to December. Now, the company has apparently updated its plans again, indicating that mass production will instead start in 2025, which means that it will likely miss its target to start sampling of reference servers featuring the Prodigy processor in Q1 2025.
