My professor in school years ago was working on probabilistic hardware and showing pretty good thermal benefits. It’s a drastically different way to build software so I don’t know how commercially viable it’ll become until someone shows it has a drastically better power per watt ratio (like 1000x or 10000x, maybe higher to account for the cost of transitioning existing software)

I'd be interested in learning more about that if you could share a name of the professor or project?

Dr Todd L. Veldhuizen. I looked through his research and don’t see anything there so either I’m misremembering or the research hadn’t gone anywhere (or still incomplete).
