sorry for the sarcastic title, JS has been a huge pain in the butt for me today lol

but this does seem interesting! it's a pretty big claim and i certainly don't know much about processor chip design but if it's true then it's definitely cause for celebration.

Does the author offer any sort of arXiv or other link to a research paper about this? So far, it's just them saying "hey I found this thing!" and gives a very basic and non-rigorous explanation of the "innovative" solution. Snake oil until proven otherwise.

not that i have found, that's why i'm not taking this super seriously yet. i don't know much about EE or hardware stuff. just hoping to learn more from other sources.

here's the patent for it. It's a little dense for me to be able to follow but maybe it has some more in-depth info?
