Our take
d-Matrix is redesigning how AI gets done, tackling the limit f traditional chips with its Corsair platform. Using digital in-memory computing and a chiplet-based design, it delivers fast, power-efficient AI interface that's built for today's data-heavy models, without the energy overload.
Recently, the company has been making some serious moves. Its secured substantial funding, with backing from Microsoft, and partnering with HTEC to boost its software capabilities. With Corsair already showing serious speed gains over GPUs like Nvidia's H100, d-Matrix is proving it can deliver real-world performance at scale.
But instead of competing head-on with GPU giants, d-Matrix is focusing on where AI meets people. And with AI growing fast, especially for interactive and generative applications, d-Matrix is building the hardware that helps AI keep up with this demand.
