Alphawave Semi has broadened its partnership with Samsung Foundry, making advanced intellectual property (IP) for high-speed connectivity accessible to Samsung’s customers. This collaboration includes IP related to PCI Express 7.0, 112G and 224G Ethernet, and the universal chiplet interconnect express (UCIe) die-to-die connectivity standard. These technologies will be integrated into state-of-the-art system-on-chip (SoC) solutions designed for artificial intelligence (AI) workloads and high-performance computing (HPC) installations. The IP will be applicable on Samsung’s SF5 (5nm), SF4 (4nm), and SF2 (2nm) process technology platforms.
Tony Chan Carusone, Alphawave’s Semi CTO, emphasised the significance of this collaboration, noting that it represents a crucial step in driving the future of high-speed connectivity. He highlighted that the partnership combines Alphawave Semi’s leading-edge IP portfolio with Samsung’s manufacturing expertise to address the growing demands of high-performance computing and networking.
Jongshin Shin, Samsung Foundry’s EVP of Foundry IP Development, expressed excitement about strengthening the partnership. He stated that by combining Alphawave Semi’s cutting-edge IP technologies with Samsung’s advanced semiconductor processes, the collaboration aims to redefine benchmarks for high-speed connectivity and high-performance computing. This effort will support the ongoing evolution and success of next-generation AI systems and network solutions.
Alphawave IP Group plc (LON:AWE) is a semiconductor IP company focused on providing DSP based, multi-standard connectivity Silicon IP solutions targeting both data processing in the Datacenter and data generation by IoT end devices.
