— Polygon Gas Price Chart (@MATICfeeChart) May 12, 2022
Polygon is one the major blockchains we use at my day job. My year started out with it falling apart due to a viral game called Sunflower Farmers, and it's just not getting any better. Trying to move house while working 18 hours a day is not fun.
Each core is a standard 4-issue out-of-order design, but is paired with two 1024-bit vector units (four times the capacity of Intel's CPUs) and a 4096-bit matrix unit. It supports up to 8TB of DDR5 RAM per socket and up to four sockets per system.
And it runs x86, ARM, and RISC-V code as well as native binaries. It's as fast for GPU tasks as next-generation GPUs, and much faster for CPU-oriented workloads.
How much it will cost when it arrives next year is not mentioned, but they'll offer 32 and 64 core models for broke gang.
