The SN30 is manufactured on a 7nm TSMC process node, which packs 86 billion transistors into a single die. The chip itself is a little unconventional compared to other high-performance accelerators on the market today, in that it's not a GPU, CPU, or traditional FPGA. "We think of our chip and our hardware as being software defined, because we're actually reconfiguring with each input to configure to the needs of the operator being executed," Choy said.
