How does this compare to the Google Sycamore quantum processor?

Would be cool if one could use this to do Hartree-Fock how google layed out [0] with the qubits to compute a bunch of binding energies for a matrix of different elements and molecules and use those to find activation coefficients on a classical computer.

D-Wave machines are quantum annealing machines, not really a quantum computers like Sycamore.

In other words it's machine that can solve combinatorial optimization problems and nothing else.
