AI start-up Tenstorrent has announced the commercial release of its Wormhole processors, built to power AI accelerators to compete with Nvidia. Wormhole will power the new Wormhole n150 and n300 AI accelerators, as well as the TT-LoudBox and TT-QuietBox workstations containing four n300s.
The Wormhole n150 and n300 AI accelerators are 3/4 size PCIe add-in cards based on the Wormhole processor. The n150 has a single Wormhole processor and the N300 holds a pair. The cards are Tenstorrent’s second line of dev kits, replacing the Grayskull boards powered by the chip of the same name. Both Wormholes are passively cooled, and operate at up to 160W and 300W respectively.
