Introduction2018
Process16 nm

Colossus is a 16 nm microarchitecture for high-performance neural processors designed by Graphcore set to be introduced in late-2018.

Etymology[edit]

Codename Colossus was chosen in honor of Tommy Flowers and the Colossus computer.

Process Technology[edit]

Colossus is designed to be fabricated on TSMC's 16 nm FinFET process.
