Tenstorrent Launches Blackhole Developer Products at Tenstorrent Dev Day

Tenstorrent launched the next generation Blackhole chip family today at their DevDay event in San Francisco. Featuring all new RISC-V cores, Blackhole is built to handle massive AI workloads efficiently and offers an infinitely scalable solution.

Blackhole products are now available for order on tenstorrent.com:
  • Blackhole p100, powered by one processor without Ethernet, active-cooled: available for $999
  • Blackhole p150, powered by one processor with Ethernet, and available in passive-, active-, and liquid-cooled variants: available for $1,299
  • TT-Quiet box, a liquid-cooled desktop workstation powered by 4 Blackhole processors: available for $11,999
Tenstorrent's Blackhole PCIe cards have been updated to 6 nm manufacturing, faster Network-on-Chip (NoC), higher memory density, and additional integrated RISC-V cores.

Tenstorrent also launched the Developer Hub - a platform designed to offer model support, tutorial videos, bounties and resources to the developer community working on the Tenstorrent platform.

The Blackhole cards and TT-Quietbox are fully supported by Tenstorrent's open source TT-Forge, TT-NN TT-Metalium, and TT-LLK software stacks, and can be found at www.github.com/tenstorrent.

The raw power-to-dollar ratio appears highly competitive. It's puzzling why they choose to keep the product's specifications so concealed.

I'm still waiting for them to actually release their host RISC-V CPU - TT-Ascalon in any capacity. At the moment all their products are hosted on Intel Xeons and AMD EPYCs.

Imagine having a networking card, that looks better than any GPUs on the market in past years

For datacenters, this seems like crazy good value if they can be more-or-less plug and play with popular libraries.

For consumers, I would've expected a lot more VRAM at this price for a dedicated AI-card. But alas it is not for consumers.

I wonder what's the hold-up. I've got some really cheap AM4 systems now to be able to host GPUs and other accelerators, but it would be really nice to have everything on RISC-V.

I have an Orange Pi RV2 for mundane duties replacing an older ARM-based Orange Pi Win Plus, but that should be far surpassed by TT-Ascalon over the next few years.

That's actually some competitive pricing, with 28GB of memory it should compete with a 3090/4090.
