Alphawave Semi (LSE: AWE), a prominent global player in high-speed connectivity for technology infrastructure, has announced its collaboration with Arm Total Design, a comprehensive ecosystem focused on creating specialized solutions using Arm® Neoverse™ Compute Subsystems (CSS). This partnership brings together Arm’s cutting-edge CSS technology and Alphawave Semi’s advanced high-speed connectivity IP and chiplet-enabled custom silicon platforms, propelling artificial intelligence (AI) compute capabilities to unprecedented levels.
The integration of Arm Neoverse CSS into Alphawave Semi’s Universal Chiplet Express (UCIeTM) enabled custom silicon and connectivity chiplets marks a significant advancement in data center compute and connectivity. Generative AI has driven a surge in demand for enhanced compute power, memory bandwidth, I/O speeds, and energy efficiency. Alphawave Semi’s specialized team optimizes Neoverse cores for power, performance, and area (PPA) in leading-edge foundries, scaling down to 3nm and 2nm process nodes.
Alphawave Semi’s low-power, low-latency UCIe IP seamlessly supports Arm fabric interfaces, simplifying the integration of advanced connectivity solutions such as CXLTM, HBMx, DDRx, and Ethernet onto high-performance Arm-based custom System-on-Chips (SoCs) and chiplets. Additionally, customers can leverage Alphawave Semi’s expertise in 2.5D/3D packaging and their successful track record of shipping Arm-based silicon across major foundries, ensuring a smooth transition to volume production.
Mohamed Awad, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Infrastructure Line of Business at Arm, commented on the collaboration: “Arm Total Design empowers the industry to innovate swiftly on Arm Neoverse CSS, lowering the cost of creating efficient custom silicon. We are pleased to have Alphawave Semi contribute its technological expertise and proven history in designing world-class Arm-based silicon to the Arm Total Design ecosystem.”
Tony Pialis, CEO and Co-founder of Alphawave Semi, emphasized the company’s focus on delivering high-performance connectivity solutions for data infrastructure: “Arm Total Design represents a significant stride in Alphawave Semi’s collaborative efforts to foster innovation through a robust chiplet ecosystem.”
Mohit Gupta, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Custom Silicon and IP at Alphawave Semi, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration’s potential: “We are thrilled to be part of Arm Total Design because it opens new avenues for Alphawave Semi to provide unparalleled levels of compute performance, flexibility, and scalability to our hyperscaler and data-infrastructure customers. By combining Arm Neoverse CSS with our advanced high-speed connectivity IP and chiplet platforms, we can deliver tailored, custom silicon and chiplets to our mutual customers.”
This collaboration underscores the industry’s concerted efforts to push the boundaries of AI compute capabilities, facilitating the development of innovative solutions for the ever-evolving digital landscape.
