d-Matrix Inc., a California-based startup supported by Microsoft, has unveiled its groundbreaking AI processor, Corsair, designed to revolutionize AI inference by sidestepping traditional GPUs and high-bandwidth memory. This innovative technology boasts impressive performance metrics and cost advantages, particularly in scenarios requiring demanding generative AI models. Built on Nighthawk and Jayhawk II tiles with a 6nm manufacturing process, the processor integrates memory and computation efficiently through chiplet packaging. Corsair, set for broader release in 2025, is poised to reshape the landscape of AI technology by catering to transformer models, agentic AI applications, and interactive video generation.
