SiPearl, a company developing an indigenous European processor for supercomputers, has announced that its upcoming Rhea CPU will get more cores. The company also announced that Rhea will be further delayed to 2025 at the earliest, putting a damper on Europe's effort to compete in the high performance computing (HPC) market.
The CPU, which is designed to handle both AI and HPC workloads, will feature 80 cores when it launches instead of the originally planned 72 cores. Unfortunately, the timeline for general availability is completely uncertain as the processor will now be sampled in 2025.
