Efficient Computer emerged from stealth mode this week, revealing their "Fabric" chip design. According to the company, this novel CPU can provide performance on par with current...
Usually means “yes this works in theory but only for very specific operations at limited scales that aren’t all that important so it’s not worth pursuing seriously”
Maybe. But the blue LED was also deemed impossible by a lot of big companies. And then a guy build one. Very interesting video on that topic: https://youtu.be/AF8d72mA41M
It probably runs a completely custom instruction set which makes it incompatible with current architectures. Current manufacturers are designing chips that are operable with popular instruction sets.
So Intel, Apple, every other company that develops ARM based processors, AMD and Nvidia has just missed this technology ?
We’re talking about trillions of dollars in just R’n’D investments and this technology just flew under the radar?
If it sounds too good to be true, it is probably too good to be true.

Big companies tend to “innovate” by buying market-disrupting startups and squashing the life out of them so they wouldn’t need to compete

I’d write it myself if it was a hundred times faster
