No Tenstorrent wouldn't have any advantage in choosing x86. My argument is that Intel as an organization would still face the same institutional inertia if they developed a RISC-V cpu as they do with their x86 cpus.
> that said, I believe a cleanroom RISC-V design by Intel would still progress faster at Intel than x86
Possibly. But it would still take a lot longer than Tenstorrent or even AMD (should they decide to do this). There's a lot of tasks that Intel tends to throw bodies at that an AMD or Tenstorrent have automated.
