059 New Silicon Corp: Innovation for Hyperscaler Hardware, Data I/O Between HBM and Your GPU

One North Stories

This is One North Stories, an A*START CENTRAL Podcast

Data Interconnect. The buzz is 15+ years old. The problem still exists and the performance of compute systems is still following Moore’s Law. Meet New Silicon Corp, a Singapore start-up working to usher in a new paradigm to connect memory and your GPU, TPU, CPU or other processing unit. Interconnect channels enabled by Gallium Nitride (GaN) LEDs.

Professor Gene Fitzgerald Co-founder of New Silicon Corp (NSC), a start-up out of the Singapore MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART) joins the show to share their exciting journey from lab to fab to product.

Taking lessons from disruptive innovation of the past, they moved past the idea of serial innovation to parallel innovation to position heterogeneous integration as a natural next step for chip evolution. This has been especially important for bringing along the chip design and chip manufacturing industries, empowering existing tools to design and manufacture on NSC’s platform.

Initial first applications might have been for wireless comms, but given AI, AI, AI and the memory wall, they’re fully focused on data interconnect. Chipsets are in testing with unnamed companies looking to break the memory wall. Coming to a hyperscaler's datacenter near you.

If it all works out, this could position NSC as a dominant player in the semiconductor industry for years to come.
