cores!=processors. a processor requires investment through fabrication. adding +3 or +640 (tenstorrent) less so. but Ok they are making progress fragmenting the ecosystem for no good reason. in 10 years we may have two competing architectures to confuse and frustrate everyone

You're either very confused or willingly attempting to spread "fragmentation" style FUD.

The 10b+ cores by December 2022 were fabricated and deployed physical cores inside physical chips, brucehoult was responding to your non-sourced "There are 100 billion embedded ARM processors in operation" statement.

Of course this number is much larger now, as RISC-V adoption has exploded. RISC-V is not a fad that will go away overnight. It has long entrenched itself very deeply in this industry.
