But it doesn't outperform classical algorithms specifically written to solve the types of problems that the D-Wave machine accepts.
Yeah, and I've never seen anyone outside D-Wave show these types of speedups. Last article I read, in fact, was struggling really hard to even show that D-Wave was the same speed as traditional algos.
