Sipearl lance sa production de puces chez TSMC "On intègre quatre fois plus que dans un ordinateur portable classique. Cela sert à beaucoup de choses : calculs météo, biologiques, ou modélisation du corps humain." 🎙️ Philippe Notton, directeur général et fondateur de Sipearl https://t.co/rmlLhsotxX
French semiconductor company SiPearl has raised €130 million (approximately $152 million) in a Series A funding round led by Taiwan's Cathay Venture, alongside the European Innovation Council Fund and France 2030. The investment aims to support the development and production of SiPearl's Rhea1 AI chip, which features 80 Arm cores and over 61 billion transistors. SiPearl is manufacturing the chip at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC). Philippe Notton, SiPearl's CEO and founder, highlighted the chip's advanced integration, noting it contains four times more components than a typical laptop processor. The Rhea1 chip is designed for applications including weather forecasting, biological computations, and human body modeling.
