D-Wave publishes equal-runtime benchmarks for its updated Stride hybrid solver

The claim is about solution quality at equal runtime, not raw processor speed, and the release footnote says exactly that.

DATA STATUS NOTICE

Data status — the entries below are compiled from dated, first-party releases and official registers, with the original source linked on every brief. They are not a live news feed, and the site owner has not yet completed an independent line-by-line verification pass. Open a source link before citing a figure.

Editorial note

On travelling-salesperson instances of up to 10,000 locations the enhanced solver averaged within 0.02% of a reference optimum in 15 seconds; the footnote defines the 200x and 500x figures as closeness to that optimum, not a speedup. No independent reproduction is cited, so these remain vendor-measured benchmarks against the vendor's own previous version. A software release can reprice a listed company without ever appearing as a financing event, which is why it belongs here rather than in the funding ledger.

How this entry was published

The launch entries were compiled from dated first-party releases and official registers at the site owner's request and are explicitly marked as awaiting an independent verification pass. From here on an AI agent can only draft: an editor who has opened the original sources moves an entry through reviewed to published, and anything missing a source or a hand-written bilingual note produces no page at all.
