To meet the exploding demand for artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and cloud computing services, data center operators are transforming the computing and connectivity technologies underlying their data infrastructure to dramatically increase performance, efficiency and return on investment of their global operations. AECs—which are copper cables supplemented by DSP technology originally developed for optical modules for longer distances and greater bandwidth—are ideal for in-rack scale-up fabrics as bandwidths increase. The market for AEC silicon is expected to grow at 61% per year to reach $1.3 billion by 2029, according to the 650 Group.
Producing 2nm chips requires cutting-edge techniques like extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography. This complex and expensive process increases production costs and demands extremely high precision. Another big issue is heat. Even with relatively lower consumption, as transistors shrink and densities increase, managing heat dissipation becomes a critical challenge. Overheating can impact chip performance and durability. In addition, at such a small scale, traditional materials like silicon may reach their performance limits, requiring the exploration of different materials.
Qualcomm announced the acquisition of MovianAI Artificial Intelligence (AI) Application and Research JSC (MovianAI), the former generative AI division of VinAI Application and Research JSC (VinAI) and a part of the Vingroup ecosystem.
Retym, a chip startup with roots in the US and Israel, has raised $75 million in a Series D funding round led by Spark Capital. This brings the company’s total funding to $180 million, the company announced on Monday.
As of March 2025, Infineon Technologies continues to be a major player in the semiconductor industry, driving innovations in automotive electronics, power efficiency, and secure IoT applications.
