Agreeing that there's a lot of nonsense here and it's a bit painful because there's also seemingly a lot of solid stuff. For example: what does any of this have to do with von Neumann architecture? They didn't say they're going for Harvard, but also nothing about the rest of the page seemed to indicate any preference for a CPU architecture. Maybe they wanted to say they're not a typical CPU in fancier terms. Likewise, THz not GHz. Sure, I guess, but what's the date rate? Infrared remotes are often 300-350 THz ish ish ish. It's anyone out here claiming their IR remote is better because it's at 350 THz instead of 300 when they're processing significant orders of magnitude under the Shannon limit? As far I know, no. Though my goodness I can see the cheapy Amazon listings now... Anyway, I believe good tech speaks for itself. Just let it shine. Don't cloud it in marketing nonsense or technobabble.
