> You get 16 Ascalon cores per Blackhole card.
No you don't, you get licensed SiFive X280 cores, which are slow in order cores with 512-bit vector registers (dual issue 256-bit ALUs).
See: https://docs.tenstorrent.com/aibs/blackhole/specifications.h...
and the SiFive X280 page: https://www.sifive.com/cores/intelligence-x280
Ascalon "silicon" (aka chips) is instead brought up in the "next 12 month" section.
i.e. We'll see Ascalon soon, just not yet.
