What happened

Tenstorrent updated the datasheet for its TT-Atlantis SoC to specify that it will ship with nerfed Ascalon-XG cores lacking vector crypto and featuring reduced floating-point throughput to comply with US export controls.

Highlighted: the lines this signal was extracted from

The datasheet was just updated to clarify that Atlantis will have nerfed Ascalon-XG cores, to comply with export control restrictions. [https://github.com/tenstorrent/atlantis-soc-docs/blob/main/data\_sheet/atl\_soc\_data\_sheet.pdf](https://github.com/tenstorrent/atlantis-soc-docs/blob/main/data_sheet/atl_soc_data_sheet.pdf) I have no idea how they are over any throughput limits, considering the frequency? How are x86 and all of the Arm vendors allowed to sell they products, is there like a huge exception list or legal tricks?

  • “> How are x86 and all of the Arm vendors allowed to sell they products, is there like a huge exception list or legal tricks? The export controls name stuff like vector width, so I think a VLEN above a certain value is okay. Crypto has been a long standing thing with the US, but normally you can sell it in Europe, but who knows with the orange man in charge…”
