Tenstorrent is bringing a differentiated RISC-V story to market by combining open, licensable CPU IP with the real-world experience of building and shipping AI systems at scale. This presentation highlights how Tenstorrent turned an internal need for high-performance, customizable compute into a broader IP business, and why that matters for customers seeking greater roadmap control, architectural flexibility, and freedom from vendor lock-in. Backed by proven silicon, production systems, and RISC-V deployments measured in the millions of cores, Tenstorrent’s approach shows how open IP can move beyond theory to enable scalable, production-ready innovation across CPUs, AI accelerators, chiplets, and full-system platforms.
