EDGECONSOLE TITAN
VS CONSOLES

The Titan is not an incremental improvement. It is a different class of machine built on a different class of material. Every metric is a rout.

192 CPU Cores
The PlayStation 5 has 8 CPU cores. The Xbox Series X has 12. The Titan has 192 — fabricated in a single MoS₂ run by EdgeWATS. Not an upgrade. A different category.

2ns Memory
EdgeMemory uses MoS₂/HZO ferroelectric FET technology switching in 2 nanoseconds — 100,000 times faster than any NVMe SSD. Load times become irrelevant.

Hardware Security
The E1-C cryptographic enclave is architecturally isolated at the chip level. ML-KEM-1024, ML-DSA-87, SLH-DSA, AES-256-GCM, SHA-3-512. No software patch can compromise it.

EDGECHIP E1
VS CPU MARKET

The EdgeChip E1 is a single MoS₂ die with two firmware variants — E1-S for compute, E1-C for cryptographic isolation. Three E1-S chips power the Titan. One E1-C secures everything.

E1-C ENCLAVE
VS SECURITY CHIPS

The E1-C does not work like a TPM, HSM, or secure element. Those are adjuncts to a system that is already compromised. The E1-C is the only trusted component by design — everything else is treated as hostile.

EDGEMEMORY
VS STORAGE MARKET

EdgeMemory is not flash storage. It is a ferroelectric FET array grown by EdgeWATS on MoS₂ — switching in 2 nanoseconds with 10 billion write cycles and sub-1V operation.

NOT SILICON.
NEVER SILICON.

Every competitor on every table above runs on silicon. Every vulnerability class in silicon — Spectre, Meltdown, Rowhammer, side-channel — is a consequence of the substrate architecture. EdgeChip starts from a different material, a different geometry, and a different fabrication method. The attack surface is not reduced. It is structurally different.
