They used 8 p-bits and could factor numbers up to 950, which took about 15 seconds. They say "it's possible that a larger number of p-bits will mean a significantly larger sampling time." That seems likely to be a drastic understatement.

Funny that's what a human takes to factor 950 with pen and paper
