How is Tenstorrent h/w more general purpose than NVIDIA chips? TT hardware is only good for matmuls and some elementwise operations, and plain sucks for anything else. Their software is abysmal.

Of course there's the general purpose RISC V CPU controller component but also, each NPU is designed in troikas that have one core reading data in, one core performing the actual kernel work, and the third core forwarding data out.
