There are many types of ring oscillators with quite different characteristics, such as temperature stability and resistance to interference.

I was hoping this would be a development board with multiple types of oscillators but this doesn't seem to be the case?

It's kinda the other way around. They're using oscillators as a means to an end, ie solving physics and math problems based on the Ising model[1].

While the Ising model was created as a model of ferromagnetism, and is deceptively simple at first glance, it's turned out to be quite versatile[2] and can be used to tackle many different problems[3]. However computing solutions can take quite a lot of computing power, and this analog solution supposedly can potentially do it faster.
