Sounds cool. Does anyone have any benchmarks to get an idea of what this processor can actually do?

A price would also be nice.

512Gflops. But probably it isn't supposed to lead(which requires 14nm), but to use manufacturing fabs fully controlled by china.

The 512Gflops is only an uncorroborated blurb posted in a press release. Thus, its highly doubtful that the chip's real world performance comes anywhere near that value.

It would be very interesting to see real-world benchmarks compiled independently.

I have grown suspicious of powers of 2. 512 anything sounds like a theoretical limit based on the number of cores.
