$30M Raised to Redo the CPU

Tendrils has raised $30 million led by Benchmark to develop a new CPU architecture that breaks from decades of legacy design constraints by using thousands of parallel cores instead of sequential single-core processing. The company is simultaneously developing Vine, an open-source programming language designed to work with these parallel-first processors, rather than continuing to build chips constrained by backwards compatibility requirements dating back to the 1970s.
