Tachyum Prodigy CPU: insane 128 cores @ 5.7GHz, 16-channel DDR5, 950W+

Tachyum unveiled their new Prodigy CPUs not too long ago, with some bonkers specifications that seem far too crazy as the company is getting closer to the launch of some of its Prodigy CPUs that are now in pre-order status for evaluation kits.

The flagship Tachyum Prodigy T16128-AIX CPU will reportedly pack up to 128 cores, crazy 5.7GHz CPU clocks, just-as-insane 16-channel DDR5-7200 memory support, and once-again-insane 950W TDP. The 128 custom-designed 64-bit cores will be running at 5.7GHz+ according to the company, made on the 5nm process node and support 1-2TB/sec of memory bandwidth depending on the setup.

Tachyum says that it will be sampling the 128-core CPU "end of 2022". There is also hardware coherency that supports both 2 and 4-socket systems for some truly crazy performance... there are a lot of performance claims here, where Tachyum uses NVIDIA's new Hopper-based H100 GPU in its benchmark comparisons.

Some of the main features of the Prodigy CPUs includes:

• 128 high-performance unified 64-bit cores running up to 5.7 GHz
• 16 DDR5 memory controllers
• 64 PCIe 5.0 lanes
• Multiprocessor support for 4-socket and 2-socket platforms
• Rack solutions for both air-cooled and liquid-cooled data centers
• SPECrate 2017 Integer performance of around 4x Intel 8380 and around 3x AMD 7763HPC
• Double-Precision Floating-Point performance is 3x NVIDIA H100
• AI FP8 performance is 6x NVIDIA H100
