I believe they are just being quiet. Their series of talks is over.

In December front-man Ivan Godard wrote [1] on their forum that they are holding off on twenty-something patents so as not to "start the clock" on them. And they can't talk about anything on the forum that is not yet filed.

26 June 2022: "The past year has mostly been spent on the uncore and tools; the ISA itself is essentially finished. Uncore includes behind-the-scenes parts of the chip like the PLB, TLB, interrupts, and spiller. Tools include the compiler driver, the post-linker and pre-linker, debug support, documentation, and LLVM intrinsics."

I think they are also working on a funding round which will allow them to file their next batch of patents.

Well that's really good news. I really enjoyed the talks that Godard did and I've been hoping that they make it to production.
