Press Release
Bratislava, Slovakia, November 21, 2019 – Dr. Radoslav Danilak, founder and CEO of semiconductor startup Tachyum Inc., was invited to visit Hong Kong and Shenzen, China as part of the recent Central Europe Business Summit (“CEBS”) under patronage of Forbes to help build bridges and expand relationships with potential customers, partners and investors in the data center looking to introduce the company’s Prodigy Universal Processor Chip as a transformational asset for China.
Tachyum was one of three innovative companies invited to present “Fresh Ideas from Central Europe” as part of CEBS to an audience of investors and business leaders from the Chinese market, one of the largest economic powers in high-tech, fin-tech and e-commerce. With Prodigy being the first and only Universal Processor combining general-purpose processors, high-performance computing (HPC), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and deep machine learning (ML) in a single chip, there is large potential to deploy Prodigy to improve performance, energy consumption, server utilization and space requirements across a number of use cases.
In one such use case, China has been pushing for the adoption of AI on industrial scale by provincial government, public agencies, private and state-owned enterprises for the past few years. As investment continues into industrial AI solutions and similar technologies, there is a number of new opportunities available for Chinese companies looking to boost the region’s economy. In the current state, where the world could be facing an economic slow-down, the increasing trade between EU and China is essential for accelerating the growth of both of these world superpowers.

Tachyum’s Prodigy Universal Processor Chip, the smallest and fastest general purpose, 64-core processor developed to date, requiring 10x less processor power, and reducing processor cost by 3x. Prodigy will directly enable a 32-Tensor Exaflop supercomputer and allow the building of machines more powerful than the human brain by 2021, years ahead of industry expectations. Prodigy reduces data center TCO (annual total cost of ownership) by 4x, through its disruptive processor architecture and a smart compiler that has made many parts of the hardware found in typical processors redundant. Fewer transistors, fewer and shorter wires, due to a smaller, simpler core, translates into much greater speed and power efficiency for the Prodigy processor.

Named for the Greek “tachy,” meaning speed, combined with “-um,” indicating an element, Tachyum emerged from stealth mode in 2017 dedicated to engineering disruptive intelligent information processing products. Tachyum’s founders have a track record of solving problems caused by device physics to deliver transformational products to market. The Campbell, Calif.-based company received seed funding in 2016.
