Just came across these boards designed for AI models that use a whole bunch of RISC-V cores:

There doesn't appear to be an OpenCL package available for the processors, just their own high- and low-level APIs. Performance for the Grayskull e150 is stated as 332 TeraFLOPS, while a 4090 should in theory do 1.3 PetaFLOPS with the same FP8 benchmark. At $800 for an e150 vs $1800 for a 4090, the 4090 is easily the most performance per dollar for FP8.
Still, I'm intrigued by alternate hardware possibilities for hashcat - FPGAs, ASICs, etc. Could a Tenstorrent card provide any sort of advantage were hashcat able to work with one?
