Alphawave Semi is working with Arm to develop an advanced compute chiplet based on Arm Neoverse Compute Subsystems (CSS) for systems used in artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML), high-performance computing (HPC), data centers, and 5G/6G networking infrastructure. This development follows Alphawave Semi's entry into the Arm Total Design ecosystem last year, which focuses on creating custom silicon solutions using Arm Neoverse CSS.
The chiplet-based custom silicon design platform from Alphawave Semi incorporates IO extension chiplets, memory chiplets, compute chiplets, and their ultra-high-speed connectivity IP and advanced packaging capabilities. The new compute chiplet features an Arm Neoverse N3 CPU core cluster and the Arm Coherent Mesh Network (CMN) for efficient, scalable performance. This technology, available on industry-leading process nodes, helps customers accelerate the development and reduce the time-to-market of new custom system-on-chip (SoC) technologies, supporting high-performance digital infrastructure deployment.
Alphawave Semi, in collaboration with Arm, leverages advanced packaging techniques and a portfolio of connectivity technologies, including PCIe Gen 6.0 and 7.0, Universal Chiplet Express (UCIe), 112/224G Ethernet, and HBM subsystems. This integration ensures robust performance and flexibility for Arm-based compute chiplets, addressing the needs of next-generation HPC, data center, AI/ML, and 5G/6G infrastructure while accelerating customer time-to-market.
