CoAsia announced on the 11th that it has secured a design and production project from U.S.-based Tenstorrent for two types of chiplets for artificial intelligence (AI)—a memory chiplet and an I/O (input-output) chiplet.
Tenstorrent is an AI startup led by the “living legend” of the global semiconductor industry, Jim Keller. The company specializes in high-performance custom semiconductors and software for AI and machine learning (ML) applications.
This project marks the first AI chiplet initiative for CoAsia’s semiconductor division. Through this collaboration, the two companies plan to develop memory and I/O chiplet products, with CoAsia responsible for the backend design and mass production of both products.
CoAsia has built trust with Tenstorrent through its previous collaborations on neural processing unit (NPU) development projects. The company explained, "Securing additional turnkey orders for other Tenstorrent chiplet products enabled us to win this mass production supply contract for the chiplets."
To secure chiplet projects, CoAsia has developed capabilities in die-to-die interface design, PSI simulation technology, and 2.5D interposers. These capabilities have helped the company take on projects for AI 2.5D applications and high-performance computing (HPC) semiconductors, leading to this latest collaboration.
Dan Bailey, Senior Fellow and Head of Design at Tenstorrent, stated, “Tenstorrent is focused on developing and delivering high-performance, customized silicon solutions, and chiplets are a crucial component of that. We’re thrilled to collaborate with CoAsia, a leader in semiconductor design, within our chiplet ecosystem.”
Dong-Soo Shin, CEO of CoAsia Semi, added, “CoAsia is a unique global semiconductor design partner equipped with capabilities for global market diversification, cutting-edge technology development, and memory supply expertise, including HBM and GDDR7 for AI, supported by group synergy. As we continue to demonstrate solid results in AI and HPC, we will focus on delivering optimized solutions to meet the needs of diverse global customers. We’re very pleased to collaborate with Tenstorrent as they lead the industry with innovative products.”
