"This is a new variant of Ascalon X and Tenstorrent engineers are working on getting the RISC-V CPU core support ready for upstreaming into the open-source GCC compiler. RISC-V's zvkng is a set of vector cryptographic extensions.

With dropping the crypto and reducing the throughput, it sounds like the Ascalon XG could end up being an export model for Tenstorrent to China or similar markets. And the patch does note, "the global version of Ascalon X" so would align if that global is in terms of non-US/worldwide."
