Re: Ask HN: Chip startups?
#22Norwegian chip startups:
- ONiO: Single-chip microcontroller with builtin energy harvesting and radio communication, enabling IoT devices without battery or dedicated charging.
- Ascenium: Software-defined CPU without an instruction set. Highly parallel architecture with extensive compiler integration.
- Disruptive Technologies: Single-chip compute + sensing with built-in battery for 10+ year operation.

#23I don't mean to be rude, but you could have Googled and gotten a pretty rich and interesting set of results: https://www.google.com/search?q=chip+startups I'm pretty impressed with the number of AI/neural network semiconductor startups right now.

#24Any chip manufacturing startups? If not Fab, equipment, Fab software, etc?

Thanks for linking to your Google search. I never would have found that otherwise.

#26> I think this falls in the 'sounds like a bad idea' bucket
With enough funding, it's quite a good thing to work on. With Moore's law dead, the odds of success of weird chips got much better.

This is marketing BS if I've ever heard it. Their "instruction set" is LLVM. They're doing nothing more than what Transmeta (dynamic/programmable ISA) or Lisp/Arm-Java machines (running higher level code at a machine level) did before them.
