Tenstorrent has unveiled its next-generation Wormhole processor for AI workloads that promises to offer decent performance at a low price. The company currently offers two add-on PCIe cards carrying one or two Wormhole processors as well as TT-LoudBox, and TT-QuietBox workstations aimed at software developers.
