Analysts on Untether AI in the Marketplace
Linley Gwennap, analyst
Linley Gwennap, principal analyst with The Linley Group, told EnterpriseAIthat Untether AI’s products “are showing advantages in terms of performance per watt and overall performance against Nvidia and against some of the other startups in the market.”
In the last few months, investors have been piling money into some of the larger names in the segment, including Graphcore and SambaNova Systems, but they are also “turning to some of these smaller, newer players like Untether AI and Tenstorrent that seem to be delivering what some of these the other guys are just promising,” said Gwennap.
